Miriam's Table will hold its annual beach bingo fundraiser from 4 to 7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 22, at St. Jude's Parish Life Hall, 152 Tulip Drive, Lewes.

The event will feature 10 rounds of bingo, a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle. Complimentary beach food and popcorn will be served. Tables are set for eight, but parties of up to 10 can be accommodated.

Miriam's Table, a nonprofit organization founded by Lewes residents Ed and Susie Keefer, serves children in the Democratic Republic of Congo who face chronic malnutrition. Their organization provides 350 to 400 children with a nutritious meal five days a week. It also dispenses medications and supplies mosquito netting to fight malaria. 

A well funded by Rehoboth Beach Sunrise Rotary Club’s international grant program provides fresh water for the community.

The annual bingo fundraiser raises a large part of the annual budget for Miriam's Table. Last year's event raised over $15,000. Just 69 cents pays for one meal and $179 feeds a child for a year.
