NEW HARTFORD — The Hospice & Palliative Care Events Committee will host its Epicurean Delight Online Auction this year from Monday, Sept. 19, to Sunday, Sept. 25.

“Please join us and ‘Make a wish and bid on what your heart desires,’ you will be supporting the valuable hospice, palliative and bereavement services that are provided to our community by participating in this event”, said Doreen Nicholls, Epicurean Delight co-chair. 

The online auction will feature packages including restaurant certificates, jewelry, family activities, home and patio items and getaways. Each bid enters people into a drawing for a $200 gift certificate to Feast & Festivities, good for takeout or catering. The more bids entered, the better the chances to win.

Participants can text EPICAuction22 to 76278 or go to EPICAuction22.givesmart.com and follow the prompts to register for the auction, bid on items, buy raffle tickets or make a donation. The raffle costs $5 per ticket and enters holders into a drawing for a $500 Visa Gift Card and other prizes valued over $100. The drawing will take place on Monday, Sept. 26, at noon. Winners will be posted to Hospice’s Facebook page and its website at www.hospicecareinc.org.

There is still time to donate gift certificates, prizes or a raffle basket to the raffle or auction. Those looking to donate can call 735-6487 ext. 1004.
