How the Annual Auction Works

The Harvest Auction is UUCC’s biggest community celebration and fundraiser of the year. It’s an evening of fun, fellowship, and generosity—all while raising essential funds to support our congregation’s mission.

How You Can Participate

  • Donate: Contribute an item, service, event, or experience. Options include themed baskets, gift cards, homemade treats, dinners, outings, lessons, services, and more. Use the online donation form to get started.
  • Volunteer: Join the Auction Crew—help with set-up, check-in, food, or clean-up. Even an hour makes a big difference.
  • Attend & Bid: The auction will be held Saturday, November 1, 2025 (5:30–8:30 PM) in Fellowship Hall.

Auction Categories

  • Silent Auction – Bid on items or services on posted sheets. Highest bid wins.
  • Reservation Table – Fixed-price events and experiences. Sign up to reserve your spot—no bidding.
  • Takeaway (silent auction category) – Items you can win and take home the same night.
  • Bid-N-Bump – Competitive bidding for limited-seat events. Higher bids “bump” the lowest off the board until closing.
  • Great Getaways (silent auction category) – Weekend or vacation stays donated by members.
  • Wine Bin & Lottery Tree – Contribute a bottle of wine or a lottery ticket to add a surprise element of fun.

Bidding & Payment

  • Silent and live bidding close at announced times.
  • Winners pay at checkout (cash, check, or card) and take home their items that night (unless it’s a future event).

Why It Matters

Every bid supports UUCC. You’re not just buying something—you’re helping fund programs, staff, and outreach while strengthening our community.
