CASA of Kent County needs more volunteers, they are inviting you to join them for a casual evening of food and conversation to learn more about what it means to be a Court Appointed Special Advocate for a child in Kent County.

CASA of Kent County constantly receives requests for volunteers to advocate for children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect.

To learn about what it takes to become a CASA volunteer, register for a volunteer interest mixer at the Mitten Brewing Company on Thursday, February 8th, from 4:30 to 6 PM. The Mitten Brewing Company is at 527 Leonard St.

Current CASA volunteers will be there to share their stories and answer questions.
