Through the Morton Pumpkin Festival Give Back Endowment Fund, a financial donation is given back to non-profit and youth-focused organizations that volunteer their time at the Festival. For every 10 volunteers that work one full shift, the festival will donate $200 back to the organization.
Volunteer Registration will open in 2025!
Each year the Morton Pumpkin Festival, anticipates the need for over 1,500 volunteers! If your co-workers, friends, or family members would like to help out, contact our office at 263-2491 or info@mortonillinois.org.
