About Our Auction
This is the 16th year for the online auction, called "God's Bidding" and the 36th year being a major part of the Alternative Gift Market. The auction offers gifts/donations from church members who have given their time, service, talents, or beautiful objects and vacation homes to help raise money for Church World Service (CWS). When members, friends and others "WIN" these items through generous bidding, the money they pay goes not to the donor but to CWS to help people receive immediate relief from desperate situations caused by poverty or natural disasters.
The goal for God's Bidding 2025 is $10,000 and the proceeds will be given CWS (Church World Service).
Church World Service (CWS)
UCCH is raising funds to provide assistance to families and people relocated or displaced by disaster and armed conflict. CWS offers support to all families and people within the USA and internationally who are displaced by climate disasters need assistance.
AGM HISTORY
In 1963, a group of seven local people united their volunteer efforts to address the conditions of poverty in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The Inter-Faith Council was created, “to discover unmet needs and to respond through the coordinated efforts of volunteers.” Since that time IFC has developed: alternative housing, job coaching, free health clinics, safe shelter, community services, advocacy, legal advice, and food pantry.

Auction: God's Bidding 2023
This is the 14th year that the Alternative Gift Market has included an online auction, called "God's Bidding." The auction represents gifts/donations from church members who offer their time, service, talents, or beautiful objects and vacation homes to help raise money for local and international charities and organizations. When members, friends and others "WIN" these items through generous bidding, the money they pay goes not to the donor but to selected projects that help give people immediate relief from desperate situations caused by poverty, and opportunity to move out of poverty.
The goal for God's Bidding 2023 is $12,000 and the proceeds will be split between the IFC (Inter-Faith Council, which supports people with a variety of needs in our community) and CWS (Church World Service).
Church World Service (CWS)
UCCH is raising funds to provide assistance in relocating families and people displaced by disaster and armed conflict. While CWS offers support to all families, people within the USA who are displaced by climate disasters receive assistance from CWS.
