As a service club, Eganville Rotarians participate as volunteers at bingo events (usually on a Friday afternoon every other week) When the community plays at our charitable bingo, a portion of the proceeds support our service club as well as other area charities and non-profits. Currently there are 57 community organizations raising funds at Delta Bingo Pembroke to provide funding for such things as hospitals and provincial health organizations, seniors groups, youth sports organizations, service clubs, legions, educational groups, special needs services, services for children and families, cultural and religious organizations.
Permits to participate in these events are granted by the municipal authority of Laurentian Valley Township as per the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation's (OLG) policies and procedures

CHANGES MADE TO MITIGATE TRANSMISSION OF COVID-19
Charity Bingo at Delta Bingo halted in March 2020 as a result of COVID This caused a major setback to those organizations relying on c-Bingo funding. Strict health protocols were in place during the summer. As county COVID transmission rates were smaller than the provincial rate, some of the restrictions in Renfrew County were lessened. TapTix (VLT) were opened to accommodate a smaller number of players and "Drive in Bingo" bingo was brought to Pembroke. Players parked and played 'dabber bingo' in the safety of their own vehicles. Charity volunteers were called in to help with traffic control, parking and other duties related to bingo in this new and strange way of doing things. Events were (are) held every two weeks on a Saturday with players having to preregister to save a parking spot. It is estimated over 150 players are participating.
