Bingo players help Reedsport food pantry
Reedsport - Every Sunday afternoon this winter, a group of citizens in
Reedsport come together to try their luck at bingo, but this past
Sunday, it wasn't typical game day.
For them, they had a new mission, not just to win, but to help out a local cause.
About two dozen bingo fans, who play over at the Lower Umpqua Community Center, collected foods, including canned goods, flour and water for the first time to give to the Reedsport food pantry.
Patricia Coleman, who's from the center's board, says they saw the need and decided to act on it. Although they are a small group, she feels every bit helps during the holidays.
"It's down to such a strain on the food banks that every item, dollar is important," says Coleman. "It doesn't look like it's going to get better in the near future to help feed people."
She adds that they plan to do this project more often in the coming months.
