Description

The UWFAITH of First United Methodist Church Plano (FUMC Plano) will hold its annual Silent Auction in conjunction with its Christmas Tea on Saturday, December 7, 2024 to benefit our local missions. We need your help to make it a success. This is my 13th year to chair this auction and I am always amazed at the money we raise and are able to give back to the those that need it in our community.
 
First, I would like to tell you a bit about UWFaith.  United Women in Faith is an organization of approximately one million members whose function is to foster spiritual growth, develop leaders, and advocate for justice. Members raise nearly $25 million each year for programs and projects related to women, children, and youth in the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world.
 
Locally, the FUMC Plano Unit of UWFaith has over 200 members and serves in the community in many capacities.  Specifically, the funds raised from previous auctions have directly benefited Samaritan Inn Homeless Shelter, Journey of Hope Grief Support Center, Plano Children’s Medical Clinic, Wellspring Counseling Center, Wesley-Rankin Community Center, First Plano’s Samaritan Fund and more.
 
Here’s how YOU can help:
1.     Please consider contributing an item to the Silent Auction.  Your company can donate the item.  Some items that have sold well in similar UWFaith auctions are gift baskets, holiday-themed items, children’s items, food items, gift certificates, electronic equipment, artwork, and books by Monday, December 2, 2024.
2.     In lieu of donating an item, please consider making a monetary donation to the FUMC Plano Unit of UWFaith.
