400,000 children in America who are still waiting for their CASA volunteer

Posted by:


400,000 children in America who are still waiting for their volunteer. Waiting for that one trusted adult who will stick with them until their case is resolved. Waiting because today CASA for Children can serve only 35% of the children in the foster care system.

Contact Linn County CASA today to see what you can do!!!
