CASA of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, WV, Inc. is spreading holiday cheer this Christmas season through its Santa’s Helpers initiative. Similar to the Angel Tree Program, this effort is dedicated to bringing joy to children in need this holiday season.
You’ll find our Santa’s Helpers displayed at City National Bank in downtown Lewisburg, each representing a child or family in need of kindness this year. Inside each selection, you will find the child’s wishes, needs, wants and clothing sizes. CASA has also provided gift bags to simplify the process of returning the gifts. To ensure proper coordination, please inform CASA of the family number you choose so the gifts can be matched with the assigned child or family.
These gifts support children in relative or kinship foster care placements – grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings or other compassionate adults who are caring for a child to prevent their placement into agency foster care programs. These families often manage limited incomes and receive minimal assistance to help with the added cost of extra children in their homes. Your generosity can brighten the season and provide much-needed relief to these overextended families.
CASA asks that all gifts be returned to City National Bank by Dec. 13, to ensure the gifts are delivered in time for the holidays! If you’d like to make a difference in a child’s life, stop by City National Bank in downtown Lewisburg and become a Santa’s Helper!
CASA is deeply grateful to City National Bank for their partnership in ensuring every child experiences the magic of the season and for their incredible support in launching the Santa’s Helpers Program. For more information, please call CASA at 304-645-5437 or visit CASAadvocates.org.
