Silent Auction
Bid on the go or from the comfort of your own home!
Bidding closes at 9 pm ET on Friday, September 12, 2025.
You do not need to be present at the TASTE OF VERONA to win but you or someone you know must be local to Verona, NJ to pick up your gift within 10 days of winning. We will not ship gifts. Winners of baskets with alcohol must be at least 21 years old to win.
Should your winning bid exceed the total or estimated value of your gift, the difference will be counted as a donation (i.e. if you bid $300 on a gift with an estimated value of $200, $100 can be counted as a donation). The Junior Women's Club of Verona is a 501(c)(3) organization and your donation may be tax deductible (we recommend you consult with your accountant or tax preparer).
