A program using court appointed special advocates will be getting donations to help foster children from a food truck business in Decatur.
Each Friday, 11am – 9pm, the Smack’n Tacos food truck at 22nd and Pershing, will donate 25% of its total sales to Macon County CASA. CASA uses volunteer advocates help represent kids in court who may have been victims of abuse or neglect.

CASA Social Media
One way to “advocate” for our community’s abused and neglected children is to help spread CASA’s mission.
Macon County 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.

Macon County CASA recognizes and celebrates Pride month, this entire month of June, because of the organizing, activism, love, and perseverance of our LGBTQ+ community, especially within the world of foster care. Research shows that a higher percentage of youth living in foster care identify as LGBTQ+ youth as compared to the general youth population. Let us remember to embrace and celebrate all who are part of the LGBTQ+ community not just this month, but every day.
