Bid on a bargain and benefit the poor

We’ve all heard that it’s better to give than to receive, but every now and again an opportunity comes along where both parties – the giver and the receiver – benefit. Food For The Poor is gearing up for its second online auction.

Many of the items up for grabs range from elegant to eclectic, and will appeal to a wide variety of bidders. Private island getaways, concert tickets, celebrity and sports memorabilia, jewelry, works of art, and even an Apple iPad are some of the prizes heading to the online auction block May 23 through June 13.

To see the complete photo list of items up for auction visit www.foodforthepoor.org/auction. Once you find what you like, place your bid. You must be vigilant and check on your desired item(s) often because at the end of the auction on June 13, the prize will go to the highest bidder. Proceeds will go to providing vitally needed food, water and shelter to the poorest of the poor. Your support of this auction will help the survival of many families in the Caribbean and Latin America.
