Galas & Benefit Dinners for Food Banks & Hunger Relief

Regional golf outings and entertainment packages work best. Donors bid on experiences they can use close to home. A round at a local course or tickets to a nearby show feel immediate and real. Every dollar above the item’s cost is pure meals, so a higher package becomes a bigger harvest for your food bank. The right item makes the auction feel like an extension of your work, not a departure.

Your corporate partners give food and funds all year. Asking them for auction items on top of that can strain the relationship. Consignment travel packages solve this: you reserve them at no cost, and they sit in your auction without another ask. Donors buy them because they want to, not because they are tapped by a partner. This lets you add fresh energy to the event while keeping partner relationships strong.

There is no cost to reserve experiences. You only pay for an experience if it sells, keep 100% over the cost, and can sell experiences multiple times if the bidding gets hot. You are not too late: items can be added the same day as your event. The number of items depends on your crowd; most events choose a handful to a dozen, depending on audience size and ticket price.

Browse over 140 travel and experience packages. Reserve the ones you like at no charge. You get a one-page display PDF with photos and details for each item, plus a marketing email to use before and after your event. At your gala, set starting bids 15 to 20 percent above the item’s cost so you profit from the first bid. After the event, you send the winners’ information and pay only for items that sold. The Giveback XP Travel Team then books the travel for your donors, who have up to two years to travel for most experiences.

Your auction adds fresh energy without new asks. Every dollar raised over cost goes straight to meals. Your donors get experiences they will use, and your event keeps its focus on hunger relief. You run the event you planned, with a few more bidding paddles in the air.
