What is Give Back Bingo?

Give Back Bingo combines all the fun of bingo with activities that give back in your community.

This includes things like donating to your local food bank, sending a Christmas card to deployed troops, make memories with your family and other activities.

You will earn one entry into the bingo giveaways for every bingo you get on your card. Winners will be drawn at random on December 8th and announced.
