Shoe Drive
From Aug 1 to Nov 8 we will be collecting New and gently-used shoes. All donations can be placed in the box located in Fellowship Hall.
This is a fundraiser for CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates of Austin, Colorado, Waller, and Washington Counties. CASA/GAL volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in inappropriate group or foster homes. Volunteers stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused children, their CASA/GAL volunteer will be the one constant adult presence in their lives. Independent research has demonstrated that children with a CASA/GAL volunteer are substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care and less likely to reenter care.
