Delta Bingo and Gaming is responding to the need for PPE to protect Ontario’s front-line health care workers. In partnership with a local manufacturer, Delta Bingo and Gaming is in the process of delivering thousands of face shields to hospitals, health care facilities and long-term care residences across Ontario.

“Our front-line workers are putting their health at risk each and every day to keep us safe and we at Delta Bingo want to do our part to support them in any way we can,” says Cam Johnstone, CEO, Delta Bingo and Gaming. “We have always been a committed community partner, and that means stepping in when it really counts."

Operations Manager at Delta Bingo in Barrie, Tom Aikins, delivered face shields to local business in need, including Mill Creek Care Centre and Bob Rumball Home for the Deaf. 

Delta Bingo has kick started this initiative with $20,000 toward initial production and is joining forces with the local community to bring even more shields to the front lines faster.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to collect donations that will go directly to the production and distribution of this essential equipment to communities across the province.
