The Moose Jaw Kinsmen Club in partnership with Knight Ford Lincoln has a new auction underway looking to support a number of local businesses; the Kinsmen Charity Auction.

Cory Olafson with the Kinsmen Club explains how it works

"We came up with this idea to go around to local businesses to buy gift cards to do a little part to help out. Simultaneously Knight Ford Lincoln came out with a similar project. We decided to partner up and we put $5000 each into a pot. Alex Carlton and I went around and bought 50 gift cards valued at $200 each roughly from 50 different businesses around town."

"We are going to take the money raised henceforth and donate that to the Moose Jaw Food Bank, Hunger in Moose Jaw and the Moose Jaw Transition House. Right at the start of COVID-19, we gave the Moose Jaw Food Bank a $5000 donation to help out and put some more food in their cupboard for people. We want to try and do what we can during these troubled times that we're going through."

Bidding closes Friday at noon.
