Yesterday was 'Giving Tuesday' and a local non-profit is asking you to consider supporting them as they grow.

The Macon County CASA program recently expanded into DeWitt County and has been steadily growing. Julia Livingston is the Executive Director of the child abuse advocacy organization and is asking you to consider supporting them financially or through becoming a CASA volunteer.

Another way to support the organization is to help them grow through donating your time. Livingston explains a lot of times they hear from volunteers that come to them volunteering for CASA was not on their radar until someone they knew was a victim of child abuse or other factors that made the issue hit close to home.

Livingston is thankful for the community's support so far. Yesterday on Regional Radio we mentioned Macon County CASA has its training schedule set for 2022. She explains as they go into the new year, they've already enrolled six CASA volunteers and would love to continue to build on that next year.

Livingston points anyone interested in becoming a CASA or supporting their efforts in DeWitt County to visit maconcountycasa.org.
