Halloween has come – along with a late fall “heat” wave – and gone. For many residents, the most pressing question facing them is what to do with all their pumpkins. The usual options are limited to letting them rot on your front stoop, toss them into the woods (the wildlife will thank you), or wait for some mischief youngster to smash them in the middle of the street.
But what is becoming a welcome tradition, Belmont Helps is holding a “Pumpkin Rescue and Charity Donation Drive Thru” on Sunday, Nov. 3 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Just load up those giant winter squash in the van or SUV to 455 Concord Ave. in Belmont Center and volunteers – or you can do it also – will fling the orange fruit into a truck waiting to drive the collection to a composting pile.
Belmont Help’s Amy Kirsch said the non-profit – founded in 2020 to alleviate food insecurity in Belmont and respond to the pressing needs of its neighbors – will also be collecting donations of cash, coins, and gift cards that will help the volunteer organization to provide assistance to those seeking help during the coming holiday season.
