Bingo at Missouri Veterans Home

JWV-Post 644 has been sponsoring bingo at the St. Louis Veterans Home North for the last 10 years, every two months. It takes two and usually three Post 644 members to facilitate this bingo.

Volunteering for bingo is very rewarding, knowing we provide an activity to our older veteran’s generation. Both, the men and woman veterans look forward to our bi-monthly bingo games. One can see the pleasure in their faces when we come in to set up to play. Not sure who enjoys this time more, us or the residents.

The average attendance is around sixty to eighty players. We pay $1.00 for a bingo win. The participants play on two bingo cards, giving them multiple chances to win. Also, we play four to five times on their bingo cards before they have to clear them. We even let any resident’s visitors to play also.

Once our time is up, we provide different types of snacks to everyone in the bingo room and they go away happy.
“Very Rewarding”
