About Us

Fundraising, Fellowship and Fun! The Goods & Services Auction is the church’s largest (non-canvas) annual fundraiser. The auction takes place the first week in November. Funds raised at the auction are a critical piece of the operating budget for DuPage UU Church.

This year's auction is, again, an in-person and virtual event. Browse the silent auction offerings on-line for your favorite items and events and attend the live auction. Many church members fill their yearly social calendar with parties purchased from the auction. Items and events offered for auction foster fellowship and service to one another throughout the year.
