CASA Social Media
One way to “advocate” for our community’s abused and neglected children is to help spread CASA’s mission.
Heartland CASA invites you to stay connected with events, donor thank yous, volunteer opportunities, recommendations for positive parent-child interactions, and more through our social media outlets. Like, share, and comment on our posts to help Macon County and surrounding communities understand why 630 local foster children need a voice.

What changes a child’s life
isn’t always something big—
Sometimes its as simple as someone who shows up.
This is Anna. Some of the happiest moments of her childhood were when someone showed up.

To kick off Child Abuse Prevention Month, Heartland CASA joined community partners such as The Child 1st Center, Growing Strong, Baby TALK, Paw Print Ministries, the Decatur Police Department, the Macon County Sheriff’s Department, and State’s Attorney's office—for the Wreath Lighting Ceremony at the Macon County Courthouse.
Remarks were shared by Heartland CASA Executive Director Blaine Smith, The Child 1st Center Executive Director Jean Wolgast, and State’s Attorney Diane Couri, highlighting the importance of this work and reminding us that ensuring the safety and well-being of children takes all of us.
Keeping children safe and supported is a responsibility we carry every day. In April, blue pinwheels and blue ribbons serve as symbols of hope, awareness, and the commitment to creating safe, supported childhoods. We encourage you to take notice of the pinwheels displayed on the courthouse lawn—each one representing a child in our community and join us in raising awareness all month by wearing blue, displaying blue, and finding a way to get involved.
Thank you to everyone who participated and joined us in support of a better tomorrow for our community’s children - together we can make a difference.
If you’re looking for a way to take action:

Every action—big or small—makes a difference.
