As Christmas approaches, deVine Wines is running an online auction in support of the Edmonton Food Bank, who desperately need our help as supplies are extremely low due to the extra assistance required after the Fort McMurray fires displaced thousands of people this summer.
The auction is live as of now, and will end on deVine’s Customer Appreciation Day, Thursday, December 15th at midnight. Those so wishing may also email your final reserve bids to us at “info@devinewines.ca” and we’ll bid for you in $10 increments. All 100% of the proceeds generated by this auction will be donated to the Edmonton Food Bank to help with the seasonal rush, and prevent any families from going hungry during the holidays. We will be contacting winning bidders right away and ask that you pick up and pay (by cheque or cash only please) up by Tuesday, December 20th so there is enough time to use the moneys for the holiday season.
We’ve set up boxes at the store, so please bring in food item(s) on your next visit, or if you prefer, a box has also been set up to accept monetary donations. In this crazy world we live in, we have to think about those less fortunate than ourselves, we thank you in advance for participating in this worthwhile fundraiser.
Priority food items include the following:
beans with or without pork
canned meat
canned fish
canned fruit or vegetables
peanut butter
macaroni and cheese dinners
pasta and pasta sauce
cereal and oatmeal
school snack items such as juice boxes, fruit cups and granola bars
Please visit and bookmark our online auction page located https://devinewines.ca/eventAuctions/auction.html. We’ve reached out to our many agent friends and items will be coming fast and furious over the next several weeks so check back often and email us your bids..Thank You!
