Community Auction
Welcome to the 2026 Community Auction!
🌟 The UUCS Community Auction Is Back! 🌟
It’s that time of year again! Our UUCS Community Auction is back—and we’re ready to have some fun, connect with one another, and raise money to support the church we love.
The Community Auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year, helping provide the resources we need to keep UUCS programs, activities, outreach, and our mission going strong. When you participate, you’re helping us Create Community, Find Meaning, and Work for Justice.
💛 There are lots of ways to participate!
Donate something. Bid on something. Or do both! Every item donated creates an opportunity for connection, fun, and support for UUCS.
Not sure what you could donate? Here are some ideas from past auction favorites:
🎨 Put your creativity on display
Artwork, photography, handmade crafts, jewelry, woodworking, or something uniquely you.
🎶 Share your talents
Teach a class, lead a workshop, perform, give a lesson, or share a special skill or passion.
🥾 Create an adventure
Offer a hike, day trip, outdoor experience, guided tour, game night, concert outing, or other memorable experience.
🏡 Offer a getaway
A cabin, vacation home, timeshare, camping spot, or weekend retreat can make a fantastic auction item.
🎁 Share a personal favorite
Gift cards are always popular! Consider a gift card to your favorite local shop, restaurant, brewery, coffee shop, bookstore, or other small business. It’s a great way to share a favorite local spot with someone else while supporting our auction.
🧺 Build a gift basket
Put together a themed basket filled with things you love—local treats, coffee and tea, gardening goodies, self-care items, movie-night favorites, or anything else that sparks your creativity.
🛠️ Share a helpful service
Yardwork, gardening, childcare, pet sitting, house cleaning, tech help, organizing, or whatever you do especially well.
🍽️ Host a gathering
Dinner parties, themed meals, cocktail-free happy hours, potlucks, movie nights, game nights, or other opportunities to gather and have fun are always popular!
And don’t forget: the best auction items don’t have to cost you anything. Sometimes your time, talent, creativity, or a little hospitality is the perfect gift.
🥳 Join the Fun Online!
This year’s auction will once again be held online, making it easy to browse, bid, and participate from wherever you are.
Whether you donate an item, place a bid, cheer someone else on, or all three, your participation makes a difference. Let’s fill this year’s auction with creativity, generosity, laughter, and lots of friendly competition!
