More and more blue pumpkins are appearing on porches throughout the Queen City and Western New York. 

Teaming up with WNY Heroes, the West Woodside Avenue block club is distributing these pumpkins in honor of Officer Lehner.

Crystal Douman was one of many searching for these blue pumpkins to show support of Lehner's family. 

"We saw their post on Facebook yesterday on Facebook live - we drove around today to find us a Blue Pumpkin to support the community and make the donation to the family while they grieve and go through what they need to go through," Douman said 

The pumpkins will also be available on Saturday at the Great Pumpkin Farm in Clarence.
