Through monitoring and follow-up, CASA volunteers ensure that court-ordered services are provided, and the child is placed in a safe and stable environment. By offering consistent support and acting as a steadfast presence, CASA volunteers play a crucial role in providing a voice for these children, aiming to secure their well-being, safety, and permanency throughout the legal process.

At MEC, we believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting those in need. While there are many worthy causes throughout our community this season, the CASA Giving Trees align perfectly with our values, providing us with the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children during the festive season. By participating in this campaign, we aim to bring smiles to the faces of youngsters who may be facing challenging circumstances. We are so grateful for your participation and partnership.<\/p>\n

Our team will adorn each tree with special tickets, representing the holiday wishes of deserving children in our community. We invite you to stop by, pick a ticket, and fulfill a child’s Christmas wish by donating a toy or gift. You will need to return your gift (with the tag from the tree attached) by December 20th.<\/p>\n
Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of these youngsters and show them that our community cares. Whether you’re a patient or simply a community member, your contribution matters. Let’s come together as a community to make this holiday season memorable for those who need it most.<\/p>\n
