Day of Caring 2024
At United Way’s Day of Caring 2024, CASA staff got to volunteer at local community partner organization St. Gianna’s No Cost Baby Boutique.
So far in fiscal year 2024, 98 CASAs have advocated for 163 children. This is an amazing impact – one that is only possible with the generosity and dedication of our essential volunteer workforce. We love our volunteers, so we value every opportunity to express our appreciation for the gift of their time!
This year, the staff once again recognized volunteers with a special dinner event. We chose a puzzle piece theme to reflect the idea that CASA volunteers are an essential piece in the puzzle of a child’s life. In the spirit of this theme, each volunteer received a special puzzle piece magnet as a keepsake. Volunteers also received free tickets for a raffle to win fun gift baskets created by CASA staff members.
Attendees enjoyed a delicious pizza dinner, followed by an ice cream sundae bar for dessert. During the event, volunteers were recognized for their years of service. Program Manager Kari Frederick shared, “Our volunteers are making a huge impact for children in Kent County. It’s a top priority for me to find ways to show them how appreciated they are each year. We care about our volunteers and are so grateful for their hard work!”
It was an awesome evening connecting with volunteers and their guests. Thank you, volunteers, for joining us, and for your dedication to CASA’s mission!
