CASA’s Facebook page, Greene County CASA Program, has posted images of silent auctions items for those who want to get a sneak peek of some items available.

“We (CASA) are the voice for the child that is currently in the foster system. We work with parents, DCS [Department of Child Services], foster families, and most importantly the child to make sure their voice is heard,” said CASA Director Amber Spicer. “We also advocate for any services the child might need and form an opinion through research of the case to make a recommendation as to what is in the best interest of the child.”
