This is our second greatest source of funding. Once a month (excluding July, August, & December), we work a bingo at Caesars Bingo Hall in WEM. These shifts are 4 hours long (typically 5-9 pm) and, again, very easy.
Most positions involve walking around the hall selling tickets, calling back winners, and handing out prizes.
It is a convenient location that is smoke free. We also have the opportunity to participate in VBingo. VBingo requires two volunteers to stay late, earning us an additional Bingo fund pool allocation (Friday & Saturday Bingos only). Last year we made over $20,500 which equals out to $63 per volunteer hour.

This is our biggest source of funding. Every 2-3 years, we spend two days "working" in a casino. In return, we get around $78,000!
Last time, we needed 32 volunteers working 5-9 hour shifts. The positions may sound intimidating when we call for volunteers. These are VERY EASY and include lots of downtime.
Our next casino is tentatively slotted for sometime in October-December 2026.
