A post on the CASA in the Heart of Texas, Inc. Facebook page stated:
Too many children/youth in our service area (Brown, Comanche, and Mills counties) do not have a CASA volunteer because we have not had an adequate number of volunteers to serve them. Join CASA at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 29 to learn more about CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) in the Heart of Texas, the role of CASA volunteers, and why it is so vitally important to children in the foster care system and their families. We will also discuss how to begin the process of becoming a CASA volunteer, the training provided, as well as the time and commitments involved.
