Welcome to the 2020 UCCB Silent Auction!
About our Church
Since 1833, the United Church of Christ in Boxborough, Massachusetts (UCCB) has been a faith community that cares deeply about each other, our town and the world. The church has served as a gathering place for neighbors, a resource for the wider community, and a spiritual home for generations. All are welcome to share life's journeys and worship together on Sunday. Visit the church website www.boxboroughucc.org for more information.
About the UCCB Silent Auction
A major fundraising and community-building event for the church is the UCCB Merrie Christmas Fair, held at the church every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The tradition will continue this year, but due to Covid-19 concerns, the UCCB Silent Auction is being held online, rather than in person. We are excited to try this new way to reach out to long-time auction-goers and to introduce new bidders to the wonderful variety of items and experiences available in the UCCB Silent Auction.
The online UCCB Silent Auction will be open for bids from 8 AM on November 11 to 8 PM on November 21 with over 200 items to bid on. Ten percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Community Support Fund established in 2020 to provide essential support to those suffering hardship as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Auction items range from exotic vacation getaways to exquisite handmade items to exciting donations that will please every age and interest. This is a great opportunity to purchase gifts that will surprise and delight, support local businesses by buying their gift certificates, and get your holiday shopping done early!
Featured Items at the bottom of this page will be switched every couple of days during the Auction. Some new items will be added to the Auction, too, so keep checking us out. Tell your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers by using the social media buttons to recommend items you think they might like to bid on.
