With Covid-19 still affecting campus events, the annual FCS Auction has been postponed, but there are still opportunities to offer your support. Two major ways the campus community and its supporters can help are through monthly drive-through dinners, and by donating to the online auction.

Monthly Drive Through Dinners

Everybody needs a break from cooking dinner every now and then. With drive-through dinners, offered once a month, Pardini’s will prepare a dinner for you to pick up on campus. Prices range from $35-$40 per meal, serving a family of four.

You can purchase this dinner in advance and pick it up after school, starting on Wed., Feb. 17. The link to purchase is available via Fresno Christian’s website.

Here are some dates to save for this event

• February 17, 2021- Tri-Tip Dinner
• March 17, 2021- Roasted Chicken
• April 14, 2021- Lasagna
• May 12, 2021- Fried Chicken

Online Auction- Donations and how you can help

With only days to go before the 37th annual FCS Auction, Covid 19 restrictions wiped out the in-person event, March 14, 2020. In its place, an online auction was held for the first time online, from April 1-13.

This year will be the 38th annual FCS Auction, and the second one to be held online. Donations are already being accepted, and any auction items you would like to donate can be brought to the elementary office Mon. – Fri. 7:30  a.m. – 3 p.m. Donation forms can be filled out and turned in upon donation of your item.

For those who would prefer to stay in their cars, please call the office at 559-299-1569, ext. 150, and someone will be able to come and get your donations. The same number can be used for those who wish to know how to make a donation or have questions. You can pick up a pamphlet outlining the FCS Online Auction and student competition in the elementary office. Fliers were given to students and emailed to parents.

Here are a few ideas on what donations you could offer:

• Gift cards
• Technology items
• Designer items
• Tools
• Vacation homes/timeshares
• Bikes
• Toys
• Themed baskets
• Professional services
• Home and garden decor

The 2019 FCS Auction raised $157,704. Today begins the opportunity to raise even more. What are you planning to do to support Fresno Christian Schools? Leave suggestions in the comments below.
