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.

ATTENTION MOULTRIE COUNTY, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Heartland CASA is preparing to launch our very first CASA Advocate training classes in Moultrie County, and we are looking for community members willing to stand up for children who need a voice.

Right now, children in Moultrie County who have experienced abuse or neglect are waiting for someone to show up for them. A CASA Advocate is often the one consistent adult ensuring their needs, safety, and best interests are heard.

Join us for a CASA Informational Session & Meet and Greet at Sweet Vail Cafe and learn how you can make a difference for vulnerable children in your community.

Wednesday, June 10 | 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.
Sweet Vail Cafe | Sullivan

Come enjoy a cup of coffee, meet current volunteers and staff, learn more about Heartland CASA, and find out what it takes to become a CASA Advocate.

*For more information, comment below or call Lori at 217-428-8424

You do not have to be a foster parent.
You do not need a background in social work.
You simply need a willingness to show up for a child when they need it most.

Our inaugural Moultrie County training classes are just around the corner, and we would love to fill every seat.

Please share this event, invite a friend, and help us spread the word. Together, we can ensure more children in Moultrie County have someone in their corner when they need it most.

Because every child deserves someone who shows up. ... See MoreSee Less

Have a heart for children and want to make a difference?
Maybe you’ve heard about Heartland CASA and wondered what serving as a volunteer advocate actually looks like, but heard the words “foster care” and immediately felt intimidated.

The truth is, children who have experienced abuse and neglect need more than just a place to stay - they need someone to show up, make sure they are seen, heard, and not lost in an overburdened system - that’s where CASA comes in.

Showing up doesn’t have to mean becoming a foster parent. Sometimes it simply means being a consistent presence for a child who needs someone in their corner — a CASA.

Join Heartland CASA for a 30-minute virtual CASA 101 Information Session to learn more about what CASA volunteers do, how they advocate for local children in foster care throughout Macon, DeWitt, Christian, and Moultrie Counties, and how showing up really matters.

We’ll be offering multiple virtual sessions, so check out the upcoming webinars and join the one that works best for you -
can’t make a session? Call and talk to our Recruitment Manager and Trainer, Lori McDaniel — she’ll be happy to answer your questions.
