The Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard (MHC) Fourth Annual “Silent Auction” is taking place right now, now, now at the west- and east-side Bloomingfoods. (Sorry for the used car salesman rant.)

But honestly, local artwork, guitar and yoga classes, gift certificates, oriental rugs, books, T-shirts, ceramics and many other unique items are being silently auctioned, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to a good cause – feeding the working poor.

“A lot of folks don’t understand that many people in our community are one illness, one paycheck, or one accident away from hunger,” said Brooke Gentile executive director of MHC.
