CTNCR runs on a simple idea: a community takes care of its own. The fridge, the pantry, the microgrants. None of it comes from a big budget. It comes from neighbors showing up for neighbors. This auction is one more way to keep that going, and to do it with something made by hand and given with heart.

For this first round, every piece up for bid is an original painting by our founder. That’s intentional. Before we ask anyone else to donate their art, we wanted to put our own work on the wall first, to lead with what we’re asking others to give. Each painting is one of a kind, framed, and ready to hang, and every dollar raised goes straight back into feeding and supporting Bradley County.

When you bid, you’re not just buying a painting. You’re putting food in the fridge, gas in a tank, a little breathing room in someone’s hard week. You take home something real, made right here, and you become part of the story of how this town looks out for each other.

Future rounds will open up to other local artists who want to lend their talent to the cause. ❤️
