What goods or services can you offer?
Send us an email!


We would love to have your help.
November 15, 2025 is the big event.
In the final week of October, UUCD’s auction website goes live online. Now is the time to share your creativity and thoughts about how to make this auction better and more fun than ever!
The auction is our main fundraiser, besides pledging, and it has been a big success both online and in-person!

  • Teach a class in what you know!

    What else can we offer? What Would You Bid On?

    Email us with your ideas OR questions.

    So many ways to get involved!
    If you don’t want a year-round commitment, the auction is a great way to meet people and work on a project that supports our congregation’s work and offers many informal ways to make friends.
