UPDATE: Glover Nursery will donate $5 for every $1 donated by our community (up to $5k)!!

The Utah Food Bank can turn $1 into $7.23 worth of food and services.....so if we hit our goal, that is over $43,000 worth of food for our fellows in need!!!

Original post:

Glover Nursery proudly hosts our 11th Annual Pumpkin Smash & Food Drive to raise food and funds for the Utah Food Bank.

As you prepare for the festivities, we encourage you to save your Halloween Jack-O-Lantern and bring it to our check-in desk, along with a contribution to the Utah Food Bank. Your generosity will help us reach our goal of raising $1,000 & 500lbs of shelf stable food to support those in need.

All donations go directly to the Utah Food Bank. Together, we can combat food scarcity and bring hope to those in need.

Bring non-expired, shelf-stable food items, or a couple of dollars, as an entry fee. Or, you can donate online using the Just Giving ticketing link in this event.

Games and Prizes for kids and adults. Don't forget to bring a couple extra donation items (or dollars) to get fabulous door prizes as well as extra raffle tickets! The more you donate, the more you get.

We have 2 amazing Grand Prizes in our raffle for those that donate $20 or 20 items:

1 - 2 night stay at a 4star hotel in Las Vegas, includes 2 tickets to a show on "the strip. Generously donated by Americana Getaways

1 - $250 Glover Nursery Gift Card

For donations of $5 or 5 items (or more), there are prizes that will be given every 30 minutes throughout the event.

Kids & adults games include:

Pumpkin rolling

Pumpkin bowling

Plinko board

Tik-tac-Toe

Scavenger hunt

Arts & Crafts table for the littles (don't worry parents, nothing messy for you to clean up - we know better ;-))

As if that wasn't exciting enough,

Now 97.9 FM will be onsite live to pump up the crowd!

Auntie Anne's food truck onsite for the event - they serve the yummiest treats, savory and sweet - perfect for munching while your littles play some games (or, vice versus).

Inspired by cherished childhood memories of community-oriented fun, we envisioned an event that not only brings families together but also makes a meaningful impact in our community. We invite you to join us in this heartwarming tradition.
