Spring Online Auction for Hunger
We are happy to announce a special way to support our local community! Treasure Coast Food Bank will host the Spring Online Auction for Hunger, a week-long auction with bidding that starts today and runs through Sunday, May 2.
The packages not only make great gifts for your loved ones but support Treasure Coast Food Bank’s efforts to provide food to people struggling with hunger in Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin and Okeechobee counties.
“Our Spring Online Auction allows everyone an opportunity to help neighbors on the Treasure Coast who may be struggling with hunger,” said Judith Cruz, President and CEO of Treasure Coast Food Bank. “While some people can gather together for events, others feel the need to remain socially distanced, so an online auction is a great way for everyone to get involved. “We’re thankful to our Presenting Sponsor, Bank of America, and donors who already have supported us by providing items for the auction.”
More than 50 items already have been donated from theme parks, entertainment venues, restaurants and other businesses. There will be something for everyone on your spring gift list.
Adventures and Excursions – Place a bid to beat hunger on Disney one-day Park Hopper passes, tickets to Busch Gardens, or admission to McKee Botanical Gardens. There’s also a wine tasting for 6 at Summer Crush Winery in Fort Pierce and a golf foursome from PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie.
Works of Art – Also available will be several pieces of art from well-known area artists – Reel Art by Pat Sievers, a Highwayman-style painting by Doretha Hair Truesdell, an acrylic by Ann Steakin, and a mosaic picture frame by Anita Prentice, the artist behind the mosaic benches located throughout Fort Pierce. The auction also will include an original limited edition A.E. Backus print.
Gifts for Pampering – Choices for gifts are plentiful and include a one-hour Swedish massage, complimentary consultation and Botox, and Vera Bradley handbags.
Gifts for Kids – The auction will include a 6-volt battery-powered authentic BMW i8 concept ride-on toy car and a kid-sized Yamaha Raptor 700r ride-on ATV.
