CASA: CITIZENS AGAINST SPOUSE ABUSE
 Violence Breaks Up Families... and Ruins Lives
Due the economy, CASA funding has been cut. The safe houses are in need
of groceries-- especially food cards from any grocery store, in any
amount, will be greatly appreciated.
Since June, our church has donated 31 bags/boxes to CASA, which included
clothing, household items, books, and non-perishable food. A big "thank
you" to everyone who has contributed.
During this flu season they especially need hand sanitizers for the safe
houses, as well as paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels.
They also need laundry detergent. Please bring all your donations to
church marked CASA. Thank you for your generosity.
