Why an online auction?

As a food pantry and emergency resource center, we know how important it is to have a steady stream of funding to provide essential services to those in need. That’s why we have chosen to fundraise through monthly online auctions. By conducting online auctions, we are able to tap into a new source of funding that can help us stabilize our funding and plan for future expenses.

Our online auctions provide a fun and engaging way for the community to get involved in our mission. We offer unique items and experiences that are not available through other fundraising channels, which generates excitement and interest from potential supporters. Plus, by conducting monthly auctions, our supporters can look forward to participating in them as a regular part of their giving routine.

Overall, our monthly online auctions are an effective way for us to engage the community, offer unique items and experiences, diversify our funding sources, and generate recurring revenue. We appreciate the support of our community and hope that you will consider participating in our next online auction. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.

Thank you all for your support,

Jan Lebert, Executive Director

Next Online Auction February 18, 19, 20- 2023

Welcome to the new year and our first online auction of 2023!

We really want to thank all of you that participate and help make this site a success. The people in the communities also appreciate your help. The number of clients has increased dramatically in the last year. The recent inflation has increased our cost substantially in order to continue providing food, dairy, diapers, clothing, and financial assistance.

So, as you can see, this Pandemic has been a slow recovery, is far from over and so many people still need our help.

The money we raise here with the “shop” and the “auctions” help us cover some of these additional costs.

Check out our website www.outreacheast.org for more information on what we do or to simply make a donation.
