Seeking Donations: Goods & Services NeededFor Our 2025 Online Charity AuctionThis year's Community Fundraising Auction will be held from 1-10 August 2025 to coincide with World Breastfeeding Week. The Warrnambool Breastfeeding Centre receives no ongoing funding so we rely on fundraisers such as this to support the continued operation of our organisation. As such, this fundraiser helps to provide a welcoming space, support & events for local families. As our biggest fundraising event, the auction relies on the generosity of businesses & individuals in donating goods and services for the community to bid on. This could mean (NEW) products, clothing, jewellery/accessories, furniture, plants, handmade items, gift packs, artwork OR vouchers for accommodation, food/drink, trades, services, hair/beauty, custom items, retail... pretty much anything you can think of! We try to make sure there is something for everyone. In return for your generosity, business donors will be highlighted on our auction page, social media pages and online newsletter, resulting in over 15,000 viewers. Past donors have found an increased number of website views and ongoing/extra business from both auction winners and those who miss out on the item they were bidding on. If you're interested in donating or have any questions, please contact us via phone (5562 7662, during business hours), email (hello@warrnamboolbreastfeedingcentre.com.au) or DM (via Facebook or Instagram). THANK YOU to those who have donated so far! 💐 |
