Experience Amish Benefit Auctions
Amish benefit auctions are a type of social gathering for the Amish. They also serve to raise money for special purposes. Some of these special purposes are for Amish schools, healthcare, financial aid and even mission or outreach type causes. The Amish communities are very self-supporting, self-sustaining and non-reliant upon local, state or federal aid. The Amish do not look to the government for provision - instead, they look within themselves to provide for their needs. Many Amish communities have their own private schools - which are not government supported. They build and maintain their own buildings, provide their own curriculum and pay their own teachers. Most Amish do not participate in health insurance programs, welfare or other government aid programs. They provide for their own - from their own, through benefit auctions.
These Amish benefit auctions are a time and place for them to get together with friends and family much like any other community festival. Most of them serve great tasting food for breakfast and lunch as well. They have anything from biscuits and gravy to bar-b-que chicken or ribs grilled over an outdoor grill. There's usually a bake sale, homemade ice cream, fry pies, donuts and pies. We've even seen homemade pizza baked in a wood burning oven at one auction. The good news in all this - admission is usually free and you're welcome to attend and get in on the wonderful experience!
