22nd Annual Pumpkin Patch to Support ESCCA
ESCCA's
annual Pumpkin Patch sale fundraiser will be Saturday, October 19th from 8am-2pm. It's held in the Coldwell
Banker parking lot at 2929 Central St. in Evanston, right across the street
from Hartigan's Ice Cream Shop. There will be hundreds of pumpkins to choose
from at prices competitive to the groceries and farmer's markets, so please do
all your pumpkin buying to benefit ESCCA! Balloons, face painting and
refreshments will also be available!
For those who don't know about ESCCA, it has been around
since the Great Depression and provides needy District 65 K-8 children with complete school
wardrobes, coats, shoes and boots. Approximately 600 children
are clothed every year.

Since Coldwell Banker donates the pumpkins, 100% of
the pumpkin sales go directly to the purchase of new jeans, shoes and underwear
for the children. ESCCA is an all-volunteer organization with no paid
staff. Donations of any type, clothing or monetary are always welcome and appreciated. You can contact ESCCA at escca.org
