Last month we heard from CASA of Linn County and we want to share some ways you can help them out!

First if you would like a blue bag for Bottle Drop to support CASA, we will have some available to pick up. Let Jennifer Cooper Willis know if you'd like some! From April 15-26 Bottle Drop will give a 20% match.

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month and there is always a need for more folks to become CASAs and support children and youth experiencing foster care in our community. If you are interested in becoming a CASA you can find dates for upcoming information sessions here:
