A nonprofit organization in Denton is seeking volunteers to support local children in need. The group, CASA of Denton County, aims to provide advocates for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Recently, the organization has seen a significant increase in new cases, with 47 children entering care in July.
As a result, there is currently a high number of children waiting to be matched with a volunteer advocate. The organization expects this number to continue to grow as the school year begins. Further details about the volunteer opportunities and the organization's efforts are available from CASA of Denton County.
Those interested in learning more can reach out to the organization for additional information about how to get involved and support local children.
