An Auction Like No Other

A Time Auction is quite simply an auction for great items, except instead of using money to bid, you use volunteering hours.  You read correctly: no money, just time.

For example, you might bid 20 hours working for the local food bank in order to get a free iPod. If you win the bid, you then go complete your hours – we will give you the item when you’re done!  Since time is your currency, you are as rich as the next person, and stand a fair chance at winning any item up for bid.

Some quick stats:

• To date, the Time Auction initiative has raised over 7,000 volunteer hours;
• Over 50 charities and not-for-profits across Canada have benefited; and,
• On average, we generate 42 minutes of volunteering per dollar of product donated.
