CASA Social Media
One way to “advocate” for our community’s abused and neglected children is to help spread CASA’s mission.
Macon County CASA invites you to stay connected with events, donor thank yous, volunteer opportunities, recommendations for positive parent-child interactions, and more through our social media outlets. Like, share, and comment on our posts to help Macon County and surrounding communities understand why 630 local foster children need a voice.

Today, Macon County CASA celebrates Program Director, CaSandra Blockton and her 5-year CASA-versary! A true asset to the CASA organization, CaSandra works daily to support and provide guidance to her advocates, her staff, and her peers. Her primary focus is our children, and she does everything in her power to ensure their safety and well-being. Her knowledge and experience in the fields of child welfare and mental health certainly attribute to her success, but nothing compares to the heart she has for her work.

There’s No Place Like “Home for the Holidays”
Designers: Lori McDaniel, Lenda Munson, and Mara Warner
Macon County CASA
Let Macon County CASA inspire you to make a difference in the life of a foster child! Our Home for the Holidays tablescape captures the idea of home and evokes a certain warmth that brings comfort and a sense of belonging with it. The cozy red cabin surrounded by pine trees sits upon a wood slice base from an old family oak tree, whose roots anchored it firmly in place for over 100 years. The pinecones and evergreen branches symbolize hope and rebirth in even the darkest of times, while the baby’s breath symbolizes the innocence and resilience of our children. Each place setting features a grapevine wreath and cinnamon sticks, symbolic of protection and healing. The desire to feel a sense of belonging or a sense of home and warmth is an instinctual desire within all of us - how can you bring greater warmth into the life of a foster child this holiday season?
**To join us in our commitment to change the story for local children in foster care, please consider giving the present of your presence at the 2024 Home for the Holidays Gala Fundraiser presented by the Macon County CASA Staff and Board of Directors on Saturday, December 7th. Tickets are $50 each or $400 for a table of 10
