Our holiday potluck and fundraiser auction for the Thurston County Food Bank is on Tuesday, December 16th. Doors open at 18:00 and the food line gets going at 18:30. Please bring a main dish, salad, or dessert for the potluck. You can help us reduce plastic waste by bringing your own plate and utensils.
After dinner winds down, we’ll get the auction started. This is our annual fundraiser for the Thurston County Food Bank. Last year we raised over $36,000. Let’s see if we can beat $40,000 this year. Like last year and all the years before, small donations and large add up to something much greater than the whole. It’s our way of giving back to our community and helping out our neighbors and members in need. You get the tax donation, the food bank benefits, and we have a good time in the process.
There’s a fun array of items lined up for this year’s event. You’ll find marine services and gear, artwork, gift baskets, trips and experiences, logo-wear, and more. And then there are the decorated wine bottles, hand-crafted treasures that often live on long after the wine is gone. Some have even been through multiple auctions. All items are donated by local businesses and members. You’ll receive a catalog of items we know of as of December 3rd, but expect to see some additional things that come in after the catalog goes out. Especially decorated bottles. We know those can take some time to get just right.
Got a decorated bottle or something else for the auction? Wonderful! If possible, email Bob at
cHJvZ3JhbXMgfCBzc3NzY2x1YiAhIGNvbQ== before the event so we know it’s coming and can plan for it. Otherwise, just bring it - we’ll make it fit.
Thank you for your generous support and helping to make this a fun annual event. Remember, doors open at 18:00 and dinner starts at 18:30. See you there!
