OUR CAMPAIGNS
At CASA of CGS, our commitment to the youth we serve goes beyond our advocacy in court. We believe that all of our CASA youth deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported in every aspect of their lives, which is why we are dedicated to walking the extra mile to provide them with care items, essentials, and anything that might bring a smile to their faces.
Help us brighten their lives by donating to our campaigns that support our CASA youth year-round. Learn more about our fundraising efforts below:
Give a Child Hope Fund
CASA's "Give a Child Hope" fund was established to help provide things a CASA child may need or wish for that doesn't require a court's intervention, such as laptops, toys, arts and crafts, special articles of clothing, driving lessons, appliances or furnishings for a first apartment, etc. The "Give a Child Hope" fund allows a CASA advocate to provide their foster youth with any necessities they might need, as well as comfort items to help brighten their days and make them feel special.
Amazon Wish List
A wonderful way to help us at CASA of CGS is by donating something from our Amazon wishlist! We are always in need of things that support our CASA youth, and many of the items on our Wish List go towards supporting our CASA youth with housewarming gifts when they transition into their first apartment. Take a look at our wishlist and help us change a child's story with your donation!
Birthday Drive
The average child in foster care moves seven times before the age of 18. Often, these children are moving their possessions from place-to-place in a garbage bag. Our aim is to eliminate trash bags as an acceptable form of luggage for the youth we serve.
When children are taken from their home, they typically don’t have necessities such as a toothbrush or a change of clothes. In tough situations like these, something as simple as a stuffed animal can provide a lot of comfort for a child.
​
There are currently over 1,400 youth in foster care within our three counties and we are dedicated to providing duffel bags to each and every one of them. With enough donations, we can meet our goal of replacing the trash bags these children use to transport their belongings with duffel bags full of hygiene and comfort items they need.
