Charity Bingo
Bingo has been played as a charity event for nearly a century now, being the most consistent fund-raising method all across North America. 
The most notable form of charity bingo games are those hosted by church halls. Almoust every city in the United States lies at least one religious organization that offers “Bingo Night” once a week.
A Catholic Priest from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania had the prolific idea to offer bingo games as a way to raise funds for the church. He had been servicing his congregation from a dilapidated building, as lack of funds prevented the organization from anything more. The priest had gotten wind of the popularity of this new game.
Many church halls will feed the bingo players at no cost for the duration of the bingo games, while others collect more money by selling food and drinks.
