The Caring Auction : Treat yourself, feed others

Magog, September 25 2025 — The Memphremagog Food Bank (BAM) is proud to announce its very first Caring Auction, which will take place online from October 9 to 23, 2025. This fundraising initiative is part of the ongoing major campaign aimed at expanding the social grocery store to better meet the growing needs of the community.

Thanks to the generous support of many partners, more than eighty items will be up for bid, ranging from regional products to unique experiences. People are invited to participate and place their bids online. It is a wonderful opportunity to treat themselves while helping to feed more people.

“Every bid is a step toward a larger, more accessible, and better-equipped social grocery to support individuals facing food insecurity in our region,” says Karine Beaupré, Executive Director of The BAM.

We would like to warmly thank our valued sponsor, without whom this auction would not be possible: CÔTÉ JEAN ET ASSOCIÉS.

Join us online from October 9 to 23, 2025
Registration is now open at www.signaturepro.bid. The auction will be live on the platform from October 9 at 9 a.m. until October 23 at 9 p.m.
