What a fantastic evening! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who joined us for B-Ready, B-Resilient, BINGO! at Eastside Jewish Commons. It was a wonderful night filled with laughter, friendly competition, great food, prizes, and meaningful connections.

In addition to enjoying Bingo and building community, participants took home emergency preparedness supplies and practical tips to help them feel more prepared for the unexpected.

A heartfelt thank you to Erin from Upstream Access, the team at EJC, as well as everyone who attended, volunteered, and helped make this event such a success. We loved spending the evening with you and look forward to seeing you at our next gathering! 💙
