How the Annual Auction Works

The Harvest Auction on Saturday, November 1, 2025 from 5:30-8:30 p.m., 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.
