Angel of Hope plans online Easter dessert auction

The Covington County Angel of Hope committee will raise money to provide scholarships through an online Easter dessert auction on Wednesday, April 16, and Thursday, April 17.

All bidding will be hosted on the Angel of Hope for Covington County Facebook page.

“Get your Easter sweets early. This is your chance to purchase desserts from some of the top bakers in our community with the added benefit of supporting Angel of Hope,” organizers said.

The bidding will begin on Wednesday at 9 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. on Thursday. All items will be posted to the Facebook page in no particular order. There is a minimum bid of $25 per item.

All winning bids should make payment in one of three methods: cash, check made payable to “Angel of Hope for Covington County” or Venmo @AngelOf-Hope-2. Venmo payments must be made on Thursday night.

All desserts should be picked up on Friday, April 18, from noon until 5:30 p.m. at Mr. Mattress (Harold’s Furniture and Flooring) in Andalusia. If a buyer does not pay for the item by the deadline, the next highest bidder on the list will be contacted.

Donors should contact organizers with their name, the name of their dessert item, and pictures (optional) by Tuesday, April 15. If a donor plans to make more than one of an item, the committee needs to know that.

Donors should drop off items at Mr. Mattress on Thursday or no later than 10 a.m. All items should be labeled with the donor’s name and the name of the dessert.
