  • Donate a group of related items in a basket or other container ($50 or more in total value).
  • Donate items to be incorporated into a basket by our team.
  • Donate a service, tickets, or experience.

In order to give us time to organize them, donations are due by March 15, 2026. You may bring physical items to the General Meeting on the 2nd Thursday of each month. Or drop things off at the SemDems office at 250 S. Ronald Reagan Blvd. Ste 114 in Longwood. Be sure to check office hours and please do not leave donations outside.

If you‘re donating a service (e.g. computer repair) or event/experience (e.g. fine dining or a boat tour), please provide a description and your contact information.

Here are examples of physical items to donate:

  • Wine and spirits
  • Small appliances
  • Quilts, kitchen items, baking supplies
  • Pet toys, supplies, and snacks
  • Gift cards and gift certificates
  • Current fiction, nonfiction, cooking, and other books
  • Kits, games, puzzles, LEGOs

NOTE: All items must be in new or like-new condition. Also, we cannot accept outdated books, clothing, artwork larger than 9 x 12 inches, or anything that’s too fragile.

Auction bidders enjoy services and experiences (and are a great way to promote a business!):

  • Custom cakes or other edibles for a special occasion
  • Tickets to a sports event, comedy show, or other performance
  • Tutoring or mentoring
  • Cooking, mixology, sewing, dance or other lessons
  • Guided painting class or other creative activity
  • A stay at a vacation condo or hotel

Last but not least, we need large baskets or other containers we can use to put together collections of related items. For example, a Movie Night basket could have gourmet popcorn and other snacks, a movie trivia game, and mugs with hot cocoa packets inside, all packaged in a large popcorn bowl.

Themes are optional but here are some examples if you’d like to assemble a related group of items:

  • The Great Catsby (fab supplies for kitties)
  • Time for Tea
  • Golfing Goodies
  • Don’t Worry, Beach Happy
  • We Got Game Night
  • Picnic in the Park
  • Let’s Get Cooking
  • We Scream for Ice Cream
