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.

Want to make a difference for children in our community?
Join us for CASA 101 with Illinois CASA and learn how you can help local children in your community who have experienced abuse or neglect.
Right now, over 500 children from Macon, Christian, DeWitt, and Moultrie Counties are in foster care, and more than half of them are still waiting for a CASA advocate to speak up for their best interests.
This short informational session will introduce you to CASA, what volunteers do, and the many ways you can get involved.

The 6th Annual Heartland CASA Coffee Crawl is a Wrap!
After a week to catch our breath from a fantastic Coffee Crawl weekend, we want to take a moment to recognize the many people and businesses who helped make the 6th Annual Heartland CASA Coffee Crawl such a success.
First, a huge shout-out and thank you to all of the participating coffee shops and businesses who welcomed Coffee Crawlers and helped bring our communities together in support of children in foster care:
• 121 Coffee Run
• Decatur Coffee Connection
• Crazy Ladies Cafe
• Debbie’s Diner
• RockWell Coffee Company
• TLC Coffee House & Ice Cream - Maroa
• Brewin Hope Coffee House - Pana
• Scoop’d - Pana
• The Coffee Can - Taylorville
• Legendary Small Town Trading Company - Taylorville
• Scooter’s Coffee - Taylorville
• Starbucks - Taylorville
• Sweet Vail Cafe - Sullivan
We also want to recognize Pepsi Refreshment Services, who help provide the signage for the Coffee Crawl each year, along with our dedicated CASA staff who worked behind the scenes to make the event run smoothly.
And of course, none of it would be possible without the Coffee Crawlers - both new and returning - who grabbed their passports, visited the shops, and joined the fun.
Finally, if you’ve been waiting to see if your completed passport was a winner, here are the three lucky Coffee Crawlers:
🏆 Winner #1: Donna Robinson
🏆 Winner #2: Jennifer Spear
🏆 Winner #3: Abby Damery
Congratulations and well done!! We will be reaching out soon to arrange prize pickup!
Events like the Coffee Crawl are a reminder of what can happen when local businesses, community partners, and neighbors come together- and because of YOU, more children in foster care will have a voice and someone standing beside them when they need it most. Thank you again for helping us brew hope for local children in foster care. See you next year at the Crawl!
