💜 Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜

Domestic violence affects more than adults. Children who experience or witness violence at home may struggle with fear, anxiety, behavioral changes, and difficulties at school.

In CASA cases, we recognize that every child's experience is different. The effects of domestic violence may not always be visible, but every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard.

At Southeast CASA, our advocates work to ensure children's voices are heard and their best interests remain at the center of every case.

💜 Every child deserves a safe place to grow.

A great day of serving our community! 💙

Our board and staff enjoyed volunteering with Yankton Food for Thought for Sack Pack. We are always grateful for opportunities to give back and support the amazing organizations doing good work in our community!

Thank you, Yankton Food for Thought! 🍎📚

Many thanks to CASA staff and board for packing almost 400 Sack Packs containing food for the weekend for food insecure children in Yankton.
It is heart warming to see non-profit organizations supporting each other!

Remember. Honor. Serve.

Today, we remember September 11, 2001, the lives that were lost, and the countless people who stepped forward to help others in a time of unimaginable need.

September 11 reminds us of the strength found in community, compassion, and service. While we can never repay those who made the ultimate sacrifices, we can carry forward the spirit of helping others and showing up for our communities.

There are many ways to serve. ❤️

🎯 Join us TOMORROW for our CASA Co****le Tournament at The Quarters in Vermillion at 10 AM. Come out, have some fun, and support Southeast CASA and the children we serve.

A huge thank you to Miss South Dakota Junior Pre-Teen, Laura Villanueva, for donating diapers and wipes to our Diaper Depot! 💙

Later this week, Laura will be handing off her crown in Madison, Wisconsin, and we are so grateful she chose to make a difference for local children during her year of service. Best of luck, Laura!

Our Diaper Depot is completely funded through community donations, and we are currently running low on sizes 5, 6, and 7 diapers. If you'd like to continue the kindness Laura has shown, consider hosting a diaper drive with your workplace, church, school, or organization—or simply drop off a pack of diapers at our office. Every donation helps ensure local children have the essentials they need.

Our CASA on Main Bar Crawl & Co****le Tournament has been postponed.

While we were looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend, we made the difficult decision to reschedule the event so we can create the fun, community-filled fundraiser it was meant to be.

The good news is that this event is not canceled. We're already working on a new date and can't wait to share it with you soon!

Thank you to everyone who registered, our incredible sponsors, participating businesses, and our community for supporting Southeast CASA and the children we serve. Your support means the world to us.

Stay tuned for the new date, and we'll see you on Main Street soon! 💙💛

The Headlines Change. Our Commitment to Children Doesn't.

When a story of child abuse or neglect makes the news, our hearts break. But not every child becomes a headline. Every day, children in our own communities experience abuse and neglect, and many of their stories are never told publicly.

When the headlines fade, the court hearings continue. Children still need someone to show up, attend school meetings, build trusting relationships, and advocate for their best interests.

That's where CASA volunteers and supporters step in.

Every child deserves a consistent adult advocating for their safety, well-being, and the goal of a safe, permanent home. Whether you choose to volunteer, donate, host a drive, or share our mission, your support helps ensure children in Southeast South Dakota have someone in their corner.

💙 Together, we can make a lasting difference for the children in our communities.
