Our goal, by the year 2030, is to serve all the children in foster care for Greene, Christian, and Taney Counties in Missouri. ONLY with your help can this goal be achieved. Please consider a monthly or annual donation so that we can utilize your funds more strategically.

When you contribute $3,500 annually you are helping CASA of Southwest Missouri provide three months of advocacy for a sibling group.

FACT: Kids with a CASA are more likely to succeed in school and more likely to have stability in their foster or relative homes.

When you contribute $350 regularly you are helping CASA of Southwest Missouri provide things like a cooking class or life skills for teens in foster care.

FACT: Research by the American Heart Association shows that children who participate in cooking classes consume 40% more fruits and vegetables.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Education reports that students who participate in home economics classes, which include life skills like cooking and budgeting, have a 15% higher graduation rate.

When you contribute $35 you are helping CASA of Southwest Missouri administer a mandatory background check for CASA Volunteers before training.

FACT: 100% of our volunteer team must pass intensive screening before being assigned to a child's case.

IMAGINE being pulled away from friends, family and everything you've ever known and walking into a room of people dressed in suits, talking about what should happen to you next.

Then, imagine someone standing up for you and saying words you want to say about your situation, but don't know how, because you are only 7 years old.
CASA exists to be that someone, so that no child has to face the foster care system alone.
