Since COVID-19 began, more of the reports of abuse and neglect to Child Protective Services (CPS) have been substantiated and severe, requiring children to be removed immediately and placed into foster care. And now, with the start of school, the number of child abuse and neglect cases is increasing. Your financial support will help CASA get a caring and trained Volunteer Advocate to each child quickly so they will have a trusted adult to rely on throughout their time in foster care.
