Several weeks ago, a volunteer with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Madison County went to check on a one-and-a-half-year-old child who had not been seen since February of 2020.
When they arrived, the child s caregiver was using substances and unable to focus. If that volunteer had not done that visit, we don t know what would have happened to that child, said Victoria Benge, director of CASA of Madison and Clark Counties.
Benge and her 66 nonprofit volunteers help advocate for abused and neglected children in Madison County and ensure they have a safe and permanent home.
She said each will meet with the child they are assigned to at least monthly and they will become one of the few constant people involved in these children s lives.
