Family Fun Public Workshop to Make a Succulent Pumpkin for Seniors in Need

Grab the family and make a succulent pumpkin that does some good. Pumpkins for Good invites the public to a workshop on Sunday, October 25 at 11:30 am at Culture Brewing in Solana Beach, where you will turn a pumpkin into your own succulent centerpiece. Every pumpkin supports San Diego Seniors Community Foundation’s (SDSCF) No Senior Alone program, which brings holiday gifts, meals and connection to isolated seniors across San Diego County so no senior is alone this holiday season.

Pumpkins for Good started in 2018, when Solana Beach mom Jennifer Stein taught her daughter, Madeline, to make succulent pumpkins. When COVID hit and Madeline couldn’t visit her own grandparents, the family started selling the pumpkins to help seniors in need. Today, Madeline’s friends and classmates make the pumpkins with her, and the home-grown charity has raised thousands of dollars and served hundreds of seniors. This year, the goal is to provide holiday gifts for more than 200 seniors in low-income facilities, plus a holiday dinner and a free, dignified shopping experience for 45 seniors. The workshop is $60, and the family friendly event takes place at Culture Brewing, 111 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach. For more information, contact [email protected].
