Sample of 2018 Auction Items.............................................................‎‎‎(click on full screen icon below for large pictures)‎‎‎


The culmination to our year of fund-raising activities, the World Hunger Auction, is held each August at Antioch Church of the Brethren in Rocky Mount, VA. The auction includes the sale of crafts, quilts, toys, produce, baked and canned goods, special services and much more. Come early for the best selection. Let the highest bidder win, for doing what we can opens the door for God to do much more.

Why You Should Support Our Organization

Through the first thirty years of the World Hunger Auction, the purpose has been to provide as much funding as possible to those facing hunger-related issues.  With the exception of some expenses, all the money that is raised goes to organizations working toward that goal.  The ten Churches of the Brethren that sponsor the auction are blessed with the opportunity to serve; however, they do not receive any of the funds.  The money is distributed between Heifer International for international and domestic programs, Roanoke Area Ministries, the Church of the Brethren Global Food Crisis Fund, and Heavenly Manna, a food pantry in Rocky Mount, Virginia.  You are invited to take part in this opportunity to touch those in need.
