CASA Closet
Capital City CASA equips our volunteers with the tools and resources necessary to effectively support and advocate for their case children. To that end, we’ve started what we call the CASA Closet, an inventory of items our volunteers use to assist their case children during their time in the system. It could be flashcards to help them build their math skills, or as simple as a blanket to provide them comfort in a residential facility. Whatever the item, all purchases from the below wishlist are for the direct benefit of children on CASA cases. The list is updated regularly to reflect changes in needs.
