2023 Zion Presbyterian Church Online Auction

Our annual Spaghetti Supper and Silent Auction finally returns in 2023 on September 23 with a delicious dinner, much fun and fellowship. The silent auction takes place in two parts: a scaled down in- person silent auction at the dinner featuring many local retailers. The second part of the auction is here online and features national retailers as well as Maple Leafs hockey tickets! Again this year we can work together to raise funds and awareness to help those in need within our Torrance Community. Funds raised help support our after- school kids program, Operation Winter Warmth and local benevolence. Our 32 Auctions website is a safe, secure, user-friendly platform which enables anyone to participate, regardless of location.

Zion Presbyterian Church is in Torrance, Ontario in the heart of Muskoka, beautiful cottage country. It is a small church with strong links to the community it serves. At Zion Presbyterian Church we believe that community outreach is an important mission as a congregation. Much of the money we raise throughout the year is allocated to a benevolence fund which is available to assist with needs in our community. Our fundraising efforts continue in new ways. We so appreciate you being a part of it!
