Who To Give Donations To School children can bring their donation items to school and give to their teacher. The donation form needs to be attached and the teacher will get the donation to the auction committee. Gift Gathering Parties will be held periodically. You will be provided with dates in Tiger Tales. You can bring your items to the school. Donations of beer, wine and alcohol can be donated at the Gift Gathering Parties or Mrs. Alicia Mendoza’s office in the Parish Office. Children are NOT allowed to bring alcohol on campus.

How We Do It All the items donated are spread out in one room. Volunteers pick various items to create a themed basket (i.e. a colander, a bag of pasta, wooden cooking spoons, dishtowels, bottle of olive oil, measuring spoons, etc.) All the items are displayed in the basket and shrink wrapped. Displayed on the night of the auction and sold to the highest bidder.
