The annual Bids and Bites auction will be held this month to benefit Vestavia Hills Elementary West.
Returning to an in-person format after being virtual in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will be Feb. 4 at the Hoover Country Club from 6-8 p.m.
The event is in its 17th year and is one of the largest fundraisers of the year for the school.
The proceeds from the event benefit the school and its teachers, organizer Flynt Connor said. With the money from previous events, Bids and Bites has been helpful in raising funds for classroom supplies and other needs, including new technology, books for the library and classrooms, among other educational items for the school’s teachers, Connor said.
