This is a fundraiser to lift your spirits and benefit the community too – a portion of net proceeds will be shared with the Mission of Deeds and the Greater Boston Food Bank.  Some items will have fixed prices, and others will allow you to bid your highest price to win.

Bidding will open at 9:00 am on Saturday, February 13th and close at 2:00 pm on Saturday, February 27th. (Bids made in the last 30 seconds will add 5 minutes to the closing time for that item.)

To join the auction, go to https://app.bidbeacon.com/invite/#AQ3N22 and see all the wonderful items for sale.

Winning bidders can pick up many purchases at Loring House, 211 Summer Ave. Reading, MA on the afternoon of Feb. 28, and can make arrangements with the donor for pickup or delivery of other items as noted in the item description. Payments can be made with cash or credit card by 5pm on Feb. 28; items not paid for by then will revert to the next highest bidder.

Apple pies, sourdough baking workshop, a day trip on a sailboat, and a 3 day lake-weekend are but some of the offerings.
