The Heartland United Way Online Auction site is now up and running! Bid on great items that were generously donated by employees and local businesses. This is a great way to do some holiday shopping while supporting a great cause! Some of the items available for bidding are gift baskets, handmade children’s quilts, gallery quality jewelry and gift cards, sporting event tickets, a wine tasting party for 15 people, rounds of golf, hotel stays, music performance tickets, restaurant gift cards and gift cards from local retailers. All auction items have a minimum value of $25.
