The League is pleased to announce our online auction to benefit the Campaign for Ending Hunger is now live! Thanks to overwhelming support from credit union, League, and Synergent employees, we have more items than ever before. If you’ve been looking for a way to support the Campaign, the auction is a great opportunity to give back while also rewarding yourself with something special.
“Because we have so many fabulous and unique items for our auction this year, I’m optimistic we’ll raise more money than we did in 2022—and our prior auction was very successful,” said Jen Burke, League AVP – Communications & Outreach. “Our team at the League appreciates our many donors. Without their support, the auction would not be possible. It truly demonstrates our movement’s commitment to fighting hunger in our state.”
This year’s roster of items includes artwork, jewelry, fishing gear, concert tickets, gift cards to popular eateries, and more! To see our wide selection of items, visit our auction website at, https://campaignforendinghunger.org/auction. If you are attending the League’s Convention at the Holiday Inn By the Bay, you can see our items on display; however, all bidding will take place online.
The auction will close at 2:45 pm on May 19. If you are a winning bidder, you can collect your item(s) at Convention between 3:30 – 4:30 pm. You also can arrange to pick up your item(s) at the League’s office. If you do not live in the Greater Portland and are not attending Convention, your item(s) will be mailed by June 2.
