Heartland CASA News
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.
The Latest from CASA on Facebook
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.

We had a great time celebrating our incredible CASA volunteers last night at Oh Beez Sweet Shop! From sweet treats to even sweeter company, it was a night full of laughter, connection, and appreciation for the amazing individuals who show up for our kids daily. CASA volunteers- you truly are the sweetest part of our organization and we are so grateful for each and every one of you!

May the Fourth be with you… and with a child who needs someone in their corner.
Right now, hundreds of local children in foster care are facing challenges no child should have to navigate alone. They need someone steady—someone who shows up, speaks up, and stands by them. That someone could be you.
This May, during Foster Care Awareness Month, step into something bigger than yourself—because every child deserves someone who shows up - no special powers required - just a willing heart and the desire to make a difference.
Learn more about upcoming CASA training classes at iheartcasa.org/volunteer or call 217-428-8424.
