FAIRMONT, W.Va. – Catholic Charities West Virginia will hold its Raising Hope Designer Bag Bingo on April 14 from 12:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m.

“We are grateful for the generous parishes and others who have sponsored the handbags and concessions,” said Wilmoth.

The event will be held at the Knights of Columbus on Mary Lou Retton Drive in Fairmont. Doors will open at noon, with an early bird game at 12:30 p.m. Regular bingo will begin at 1:00 p.m.
