Women for Healthy Rural Living will host its annual fundraiser benefiting Incredible Edible Milbridge and Milbridge Commons Wellness Park. The event includes an in-person raffle with 90+ items and a silent auction titled “For the Birds.”

The raffle auction will take place on Friday, July 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, July 25, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participants do not need to be present to win. There is something for everyone, with over $1,000 in gift cards, home goods, children’s items, and experiences.

“For the Birds” Silent Auction bidding will take place online and features unique items, including 22 handmade wooden birdhouses imagined by local artists, all original pieces of functional art. All items are available for viewing during the raffle. Other online silent auction items include a three-night stay at an Airbnb in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, a First Light Hike on Mount Desert for two or more! Bidding online is easy, allowing supporters from near and far to participate.
