It may be August, but we're already thinking of December!

Donations are currently being accepted for our Annual Auction & Banquet, happening Thursday, Dec. 3 at the Lancaster Moose Lodge.

100% of all proceeds from our live and silent auctions - yes, every dollar! - goes back to supporting our mission to help children and families in Lancaster and Fairfield County. That's emergency shelter from floods and fires, school clothing vouchers, and holiday food boxes, plus other assistance throughout the year.

What are we looking for?

Silent Auction Examples: Gift baskets, bundles, certificates, jewelry, sports merchandise, home decor items.

Live Auction Examples: Experiences (concerts, sports, vacations, "stay-cations"), artwork, large-scale services, artwork, tools, and one-of-a-kind items.

If you, your business or organization would like to help support the Charity Newsies, message us here or contact 1st Vice President Rachel Schlarb.
