Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA's) are appointed by the judges in each county to advocate for the best interests of a child or children. CASA’s meet with the child or children on a regular basis, consult with professionals, including the foster care
worker, attorneys, and schools, as well as gather information from family members and foster placements. CASA's then make recommendations to the judge in the form of a court report based on their observations and information gathered. CASA's spend an average of 10-12 hours per month on their case work. Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age. Complete an application, interview, and background screening. Commit to at least one year of service, or the conclusion of the case. Complete the 30-hour Pre-Service Training requirement which includes six hours per week of online and in-class work across five weeks. In addition to 30 hours of online and in-class work, attend court nights in Johnson and Wyandotte Counties and observe a court hearing.

For more information on how to become a CASA Advocate, contact Volunteer Manager, Courtney, at cmead@casajwc.com OR visit our inquiry page today https://www.casajwc.org/get-involved.

we have recently had a request from Children's Hope to request beanies for the babies in Mongolia. They said as being the second coldest country in the world, doctors recommend every baby to wear a knitted hat the minute they are born to maintain body heat much like the theory of NICU babies. They need a donation of 500-1,000 newborn sized hats so we are trying to collect this number from our members. As to date we have collected about 600 hats. We would need them to be mailed to our headquarters in Los Angeles by the week of March 11 as their container will be shipped out from US Port the week of March 25th. Apologetically they just recently reached out to us so the timeline is kind of tight. Our members will truly be "madly" knitting for this project. Any number of hats completed by our members will be so greatly appreciated.

Only thing is we also just received a message from Mongolia that the average Mongolian newborn babies heads are slightly bigger than the average baby, so they need the attached size. Please kindly see attached size.

A message from their organization to our members:
"I want your knitters to know how much impact one single hat will make for the babies in poverty here in Mongolia."

Please let us know if you will be interested in donating hats to this project. If you are, please email us at: info@madhatterknits.org

We take excess locally grown produce and dehydrate it in order that nutrient rich meals can be sent around the world to those facing food insecurity or are displaced by war or natural disaster. In 2 hours a group of 20 people can prepare 8000 meals. Volunteers are able to sort, wash, and prepare produce to be put on trays and loaded into the dehydrator. Then the dehydrator is unloaded and dehydrated produce is bagged, labeled, and packed for shipping.
