The auction site is available on your computer or phone, but make sure you test this prior to the event so you can see which format you prefer.

Here’s some quick tips for the online auction:

• Create an account first. Once you access the site, be sure to click “Sign In” on the top right corner and create your account. There you will be able to add a credit card for quick and easy check out. You are required to add a credit card prior to bidding on any items. Once you are signed in you will also be able to track items you’ve bid on, view your receipts and update forms of payment, by select the white icon next to your name.
• Once signed in, you will see a menu on the left hand side. The bottom section is specific to your account and the top section is where you’ll find “browse auction items.” Click the text and you’ll see the list of all our auction items! Be sure to scroll so you don’t miss anything! Once you click on an item you want to bid on, a panel will be displayed to bid, watch or buy now!
• Donate Now/ Online Paddle Raise. In this section you can directly support our programs. In 2020, our Healthy Meals Program provided over 17,000 meals to our neighbors in need. Our Teen Chefs and adult volunteer work every week to prep and cook fresh organic healing meals to be delivered to our client families free of charge for 12 weeks. Each individual (client & family member) receives 6 healing meals per week, free of charge! We purchase the majority of our produce and ingredients fresh each week, which comes with a heavy price. We rely on generous donors like yourself to help us raise the necessary funds to continue to deliver these meals free of charge. We have designated key giving levels and can’t thank you enough for providing the tools and ingredients our volunteers use each week in our kitchen!
• Check out. At the close of the event, all transactions and donations will be processed as one transaction. The auction will close at 7:15 pm and at that time the winner’s credit cards will be charged.

All meals will be available for pick up starting at 12:00 pm Friday Feb. 12th – 5 pm Saturday Feb. 13th, at Blue Goose Market, 300 S 2nd St, St. Charles, IL 60174. 

The meals will be located at the Deli counter. All you need to do is go to the counter and let them know the name associated with the meal(s) you are picking up!
