Bid on a Bunkie and Support SIRCH Community Services

In Charity

Just in time for spring, SIRCH Community Services is launching an auction where one lucky recipient will win a handcrafted Bunkie.

Built by participants of the Basics of Carpentry employment training program, this oneof-a-kind Bunkie will be open for bids on the Nonprofit Bidding online auction platform from March 9 to the 24th and is open for preview now!

Proceeds from the auction will go back into supporting SIRCH programs, making the auction a win-win!

The Bunkie measures 104 square feet and is 8 feet by 13 feet with 7-foot-high ceilings inside. It features a large steel entry door and two high quality Jeld Wen windows. Clad in painted board and batten style with a shingled roof, the structure is unfinished inside but is fully enclosed, with a floor that is insulated and sealed.

The estimated value of the bunkie is $8,000 and bidding starts at $2500.

Basics of Carpentry is an employment training program offered by SIRCH Community Services that gives trainees the carpentry skills they need to gain employment in the construction industry.

NonprofitBidding.org is an easy-to-use, secure online auction platform created to support the fundraising efforts of non-profit organizations and charities. To bid, simply create an account, register your credit card, and join the fun. Credit card details are never stored on Nonprofit Bidding’s servers but are securely transmitted to and stored in an encrypted format with Stripe.
