What Should I Donate?

We hope you will donate an item (or 2 or 3!) to the auction!  Not sure of what to donate?  Talk to the auction volunteers at the table in Fellowship Hall after Sunday services.  Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • EVENTS: Host a nature hike or other outdoor activity, teach a class – cooking, language, printmaking, creative writing, any skill that you have can be shared!  Host a dinner with a friend or ask us to pair you with someone to co-host.   Afternoon tea or an excursion to a local attraction.  A game night, home movie night, beer or wine tasting.  The possibilities are endless.
  • SERVICES: Babysitting, power washing, handyman (woman), tax prep, resume writing, car detailing, if you can do it, we can sell it!!
  • PHYSICAL ITEMS: This is not the event for your rummage sale cast-offs – save those for the yard sale!  We need artwork, tools, small appliances, jewelry, accessories, that are clean and new or like-new condition.  Gift cards, tickets to local venues.  If in doubt, talk with the auction team.
  • BASKETS: We love baskets, either from individuals or from your Sharing Circle, Book Club, Choir, etc.  Creativity is encouraged. Does your group’s purpose suggest a theme?  Here are a few ideas: Gourmet Cooking, Herbs and Spices, Chocolate, Wine and Cheese, Party Theme — Brunch, BBQ, Date Night, Family Game Night, Pool or Beach Basket, Road Trip, Kids’ Art Basket, Sports, Hiking, Gardening, Birding, Meditation, Tea or Coffee Lovers, Fitness/Spa

 

How Do I Donate:  We prefer that you enter your own donations in the auction software:  www.togetherauction.com/sunnyhill   Watch the Beat for instructions.  Or contact the auction team for assistance.
