Delaware Township is turning summer volunteering into a game. The township trustee’s office, together with 12 local organizations, has launched “Summer of Service Bingo,” a community-wide challenge running from June 8 through July 24 that invites residents of all ages to give back.

The concept is simple. Participants pick up a bingo card and complete the squares by taking part in service activities around the community over the seven-week window. Once a card is finished, participants submit it by scanning the Jotform QR code printed on the card.

Cards are available beginning June 8 at three locations: the Delaware Township Trustee’s Office, the Hamilton County Invasive Partnership, and the Hamilton County Master Gardeners Giving Garden. Residents who prefer to print their own can find a downloadable copy through a link posted in the comments of the township’s announcement.

Organizers designed the program to be accessible to participants of every age, making it a fit for individuals, families, and groups looking for a structured way to get involved with local causes during the summer months.

There are rewards waiting at the finish line. Anyone who completes the challenge will receive a Certificate of Community Care, a thank-you letter from the participating organizations, and a free doughnut courtesy of Parlor Doughnuts.

The initiative reflects a growing effort to connect residents with the wide range of service opportunities already active across the township and surrounding Hamilton County, from invasive species removal to community gardening. By packaging those efforts into a familiar, lighthearted format, organizers hope to lower the barrier to first-time volunteering and encourage repeat participation.

Residents interested in taking part can stop by any of the three pickup locations starting today, or download a card online, and begin working toward a completed board before the July 24 deadline.
