It is likely that the plight of people experiencing homelessness has been on your mind and heart in the last month. In our neighborhood we see the tents of individuals, many who have been put out of work as a result of the pandemic. Government and other agency resources are spread thin, city efforts to create more housing have been moving slow or in some cases stalled. Meanwhile, the temperatures are getting colder and colder making outdoor living dangerous.  This month, OLP will be partnering with St. Stephen’s Human Services to help ensure those most vulnerable neighbors are not left out in the cold this winter.

Come buy your pumpkins for this autumn from our selection of over 1500 pumpkins and enjoy warm cider, lawn games, crafts, and more with your neighbors and the surrounding community.
