Bingo Fundraising 

In partnership with Delta Bingo and Gaming Centre, JHS Peterborough receives a portion of the money made each month in exchange for 2 Bingo shifts per month. Each shift lasts about 2.5 hours, and Bingo volunteers help players who win, pick up garbage, and be a friendly presence during the games! This fundraising initiative provides direct financial support to all our clients, and has paid for veterinary bills, food support, transportation support, life-skills workshops, & much more.
