Forget the church-hall BINGO you remember. This one comes with a prize better than a dollar bill and a pat on the back — we're talking groceries, household essentials, and personal care items. Four local organizations are teaming up to host a Community Grocery Bingo Event on Wednesday, September 30th, and they're inviting the whole community to play.
Breathe Easy Marshall County Alliance, Bowen Health, Marshall County HOPE, and the Marshall County Council on Aging are partnering to bring the event to the Life Enrichment Center from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The idea is simple: play BINGO, win grocery prizes and everyday essentials, and bring the community together for an afternoon of fun.
Grocery BINGO is especially for senior citizens, Bowen Health clients, and Marshall County HOPE clients — but everyone in the community is invited to attend. Organizers ask attendees to register in advance, because space is limited to 75 players. So, if you want a seat at the table, don't wait.
Here's where the community comes in. Organizers are asking local businesses, community members, and individuals to help make the event a success by donating prizes. They're seeking: breakfast items, meat department gift cards, household essentials, paper products, personal hygiene items, laundry supplies, grocery store gift cards, and gift baskets filled with all kinds of fun items and foods
The group is asking that donations be made by September 18th to allow time for organizing the BINGO prizes. Think of it this way — your donation could be the reason someone yells "BINGO!" and walks away with items for their pantry.
Business sponsors will receive recognition during the event, appreciation on social media and community outreach efforts, and positive community visibility and goodwill. In other words, you help your neighbors and get your name out there — a win-win that even a BINGO card couldn't top.
For sponsorship information or to donate, contact Annette Haining with Breathe Easy Marshall County Alliance at 574-948-4988, or Janis Holiday with the Marshall County Council on Aging at 574-936-9904. Donations can be dropped off at the GIANT FM WTCA Studios at 112 West Washington Street in downtown Plymouth.
So mark your calendar, grab your lucky dauber, and get ready for an afternoon that's part game night, part grocery run, and all community spirit. See you at BINGO!
