Our auction tradition
Our spring auction is a cornerstone event for us, ensuring we can continue to provide direct assistance to community members throughout the year while also inviting our whole community to participate in mutual support. We invite you to bid on auction items we've gathered from the generous individuals and organizations who support us!
Ways to support us during spring & summer
During spring through to Labor Day, we focus on a variety of targeted partnerships & fundraisers. We welcome your support in whatever manner you wish to offer it, including:
Donate an item, basket, or service to be auctioned (by June 12)
Volunteer to help with donation outreach, event coordination, or display set-up
Bid during the auction!
Make a cash donation via our givebutter.com page or a check
Plan a fundraising event to support our hardship funds
For the winners
If you win an item, we will get in touch with you as soon as possible to arrange transfer of your items!
Please confirm that your payment for the item has been processed
Three options: Drop off, Pick up, Mail (when possible)
Auction winners who are also attending the Labor Appreciation Dinner can approach LCSA staff to confirm payment & pick up their item after 8 pm in most cases
