CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. We are an organization of volunteers who serve as voices for abused and neglected children in the family court system. The courts appoint CASA volunteers to gather information and make recommendations to help judges decide what is best for each child.

CASA is a national volunteer movement that began more than 30 years ago, when Judge David Soukup in Seattle decided he needed to know more about the children who lives were in his hands. His solution was to ask community volunteers to act as a "voice in court" for abused and neglected children. These Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) provided him with the detailed information he needed to safeguard the children's best interests and ensure that they were placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. Today, the CASA movement has evolved into one of the largest volunteer organizations in the country.

CASA volunteers are everyday citizens who are at least 21 years old, complete a pre-screening process (application, references, background checks), complete a 35-hour training curriculum, and are willing to commit to 18 months on a case to provide the child (ren) consistency. Volunteers also have option of "teaming up" with a partner, friend or loved one. CASA volunteers find out what is happening in the life of a child and report back to the judge what they believe the child's needs are and where the child should live permanently. CASA volunteers search for information by reviewing records, interviewing parents and other family members, talking to teachers, doctors, foster parents, and everyone else who may have information about the educational, medical, emotional needs and the best, most appropriate, permanent placement for a child in foster care. The time commitment is not huge, 15-20 hours a month.

Make a difference in the life of a child. And your own!  Become a CASA volunteer and give a voice to the abused and neglected children in El Paso's foster care system.

Improving Quality of Life is dedicated to supporting low-income families throughout El Paso County, and we are in need of aid with our Food Pantry Drive. With urgent repairs to kitchen facilities at the El Paso County Housing Authority, access to kitchen facilities is limited, and families are facing significant challenges in securing nutritious meals. To address this urgent need, we are launching a food drive to collect donations of non-perishable items, canned food, cereal boxes, and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Background

Fabens is a small rural community with a significant number of low-income families who rely on community resources to meet their basic needs. In partnership with the El Paso County Housing Authority (EPCHA), IQOL has been actively collecting donations of non-perishable items, canned food, cereal boxes, and fresh fruits and vegetables to support these families. However, EPCHA is currently undergoing critical repairs to the kitchens in our housing units, exacerbating the food insecurity faced by our residents.

Ways to Help

To address both the immediate and long-term food security needs of our community, we are seeking community donations and assistance with a food pantry...

Immediate Needs:

Food Donations: Non-perishable items, canned food, cereal boxes, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

Feeding Event Supplies: Tables, chairs, and tents to facilitate food distribution events.

Long-Term Needs:

Food Pantry Infrastructure: Construction of a pantry, shelving units, and storage solutions. Food Storage Equipment: Shelves, refrigerators, freezer, tables and chairs for serving events.

At Matrix Hospice, our volunteers play a vital role in making sure that families receive the comprehensive care and support they need. We practice our mission statement "with you every step of the way" and believe volunteers are vital in this mission. Our commitment to both patients and their loved ones is at the core of everything we do, and volunteering has a profound impact on their lives. We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities, such as Patient Companionship, Grief Support, Creating Support Cards and more. If you're considering volunteering, we encourage you to join us.
