ANE Youth Service Project

Saturday, September 26, 10am-4pm, Brethren Disaster Relief Auction

Join other ANE youth for a day of service at the 49th annual Brethren Disaster Relief Auction! Every 4th weekend of September, volunteers gather at the Lebanon County Fairgrounds for a two-day event to raise money for victims of natural and man-made disasters. Since the event’s inception, the auction has been driven and shaped by the energy and commitment of district youth; live into that legacy by joining the many hundreds of generous volunteers who have shared their time, talents, and resources to be the hands of Jesus! Senior high and mature junior high youth are invited to volunteer.
