We had so much fun last year at the Hope Housing Bingo Night  that we are doing it again! The second annual Bingo fundraiser is scheduled for Monday, March 16th. Doors open at 5:30 and Bingo starts at 6:30. There will be plenty of Bingo games and wonderful prizes. Also, raffle items and a silent auction full of goodies are slated. If you wish, order food from the amazing Juice Box menu. And, if you purchase an early bird package, avail yourself of the free coupon for a drink!

What is the early-bird package? This is a new idea for 2026. We are hoping that many of you will choose to buy your Bingo package before March 8th. Last year we were a little overwhelmed at the number of people who showed up for Bingo, and we felt bad that you had to wait in line to get in. So this year, you may choose to purchase an early bird package before coming, to assure that you can walk right in, with no line. Early bird packages are available on the Hope Housing Collaborative of Lewis County website. Look under the tab that says “BINGO.” If you prefer not to purchase online, several churches will have packages available and you can contact the ticket coordinator at one of the churches listed below:

• Immanuel Lutheran - Diane Jewell

• Harrison Square Presbyterian - Lori Gabler; Dawn McHugh

• Westminster Presbyterian - Joyce Carr

• Chehalis United Methodist - Mary Dahlstrom

• St Timothy’s Episcopal - Kay Flores

• St John’s Lutheran - Cheryl Vance

• Gather Church - Patty Howard

• Grace Foursquare - Cristy Smiley

 For general inquiries about tickets, call  Sharon Miracle 360-269-1050

 Early-bird BINGO packages are $50 each and include:

1)       6 BINGO cards

2)       14 raffle tickets (this includes 4 bonus tickets for early birds.)

3)       1 golden raffle ticket

4)       A coupon for your first drink free (up to $8) Only for early birds!

Remember, all of the ticket proceeds (excluding food purchases) go straight to Hope Housing. Last year, the attendees blessed Hope Housing with $10,000 which built one of the twelve units at the village. We still have four more units to build and fund. We are hoping that this joyous evening may help us build one of the last units.

Comments from last year’s event:

• “It was great to see this place packed with people who care about our unhoused neighbors.”

• “This was more fun than the usual dinner auction.”

• “A well-organized event!”

• “The Juice Box is so quirky and cute…a great vibe to this place!”

• “It’s thrilling to be with so many people from our community who have joined together for a good cause.

We would be thrilled to have YOU at this year’s BINGO event. See you there!
