Support Families at Hospice & Community Care’s Annual Labor Day Auction

Get your bidder numbers ready this Labor Day weekend on August 30 and September 1, 2025 at Solanco Fairgrounds! Join Hospice & Community Care for their annual Labor Day Auction and support patients and families facing serious illness or loss. There will be auctions, Amish-made foods, handcrafted quilts and vintage finds, raffles, and so much more!

A Worthwhile Cause

Hospice & Community Care meets individuals and families where they are —physically, emotionally, and spiritually—as they cope with serious illness or loss. Through hospice and palliative care, they provide comfort-focused support for people of all ages, whether they are navigating a life-limiting diagnosis or managing complex symptoms. Bereavement services are also available to anyone in the community who is grieving, not just those whose loved ones received hospice care.

The Labor Day Auction helps make this care possible, supporting specialized medical equipment, grief counseling, chaplain visits, veteran services, and more—ensuring families have the support they need, when and where they need it most.

Hand-Made Foods

Start your morning with legendary breakfast logs (Monday only), omelets (Saturday only), and breakfast sandwiches, or enjoy barbecue chicken, ribs, crispy shrimp, and fries for lunch! There will also be a selection of Amish baked goods including Apple fritters and whoopie pies, plus smoothies and milkshakes.

With an Auction Club Membership donation, all foods are unlimited! An Auction Club membership isn’t just about the food because a portion of the membership goes directly to supporting Hospice & Community Care’s mission.

Dine-in only for Auction Club.
All food sales will be cash only.

Car Raffle

At the Car Raffle, you can enter a chance to win a brand-new Chevy Trax by purchasing up to 14 tickets (More than 14 tickets can be purchased over the phone)! The winning ticket will be drawn live on Monday, September 1 at 4:30PM, and you do not need to be present to win. Tickets can be purchased online, as well as at the auction.

Schedule of Events

Get ready to bid on a wide array of items across two exciting auction days. The Labor Day Auction offers free admission and parking, making it easy to join the fun. Discover thousands of unique treasures—from hand-made quilts to dream vacations—and this year, don’t miss the rare chance to bid on an original Rembrandt etching!
