Court Appointed Special Advocates of South Central Kentucky has received a $100,000 gift from Commonwealth Broadcasting. CASA is a non-profit agency that helps child victims of abuse, neglect, or dependency find safe foster homes.
The donation will benefit CASA's $2 million I am for the Child campaign which aims to expand programs and increase public awareness of CASA's role in the community. The gift also includes a free, five-year lease at Commonwealth Broadcasting's headquarters on the Glasgow public square.
"We've been serving children from the Glasgow area for over ten years but this is the first time we have a physical office there that people can come to and where we can meet with our advocates," CASA Executive Director Will Constable told WKU Public Radio.
CASA currently serves about 160 children, mostly from Warren County.
