CASA of Trinity Valley is issuing a cattle call – literally!

The nonprofit, which serves abused and neglected children in three East Texas counties, is seeking donations of cattle from generous farmers and ranchers. When the donated cows are auctioned, the proceeds benefit CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates.

“CASA recruits, screens and trains volunteers to speak in court for the best interests of abused and neglected children,” said Emily Heglund, resource development officer. “These children find themselves thrust into foster care through no fault of their own. Our volunteers are appointed to the children’s cases by local judges and have been part of a foster care training process. They become officers of the court.”

Although Mr. Ron Unruh has several health challenges, he greeted the Labor of Love volunteers with a smile. Due to several holes in the flooring of his home, the entire floor had to be overlayed. In record time, volunteers Jeff Linden, Ken Lemmon, Joe Allison and Roy Talbot overlaid the floors in two rooms – what a great crew! Both the project manager and homeowner were in smiles at the end of the job and Mr. Ron couldn’t be more thankful which was truly rewarding to the crew.
