CASA of the High Plains received a $1,000 donation from the Midwest Energy Community Fund Fall disbursement.

These funds were used to create a Board Game Library for CASA volunteers.

With Midwest Energy’s help, 81 board and card games were purchased to fill the cabinet.

Games range in age level, starting with as young as 2 years old.  The Board Game Library is accessible to all CASA volunteers to check out games to take while visiting children.  

CASA recruits, trains and supports volunteers to advocate for the best interest of children in need.

One way CASA supports volunteers is by providing activities and resources to aid in building a life-long, positive connections.
