COURT HOUSE — The CapeBank Charitable Foundation has shown its support for advocacy of foster children with a $5,000 grant to Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), according to a release.
CASA volunteers advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children in the foster care system. By giving these children a voice in the courts, they help them find safe and secure homes.
This grant will help strengthen programming, recruiting and managing for CASA volunteers to ensure that foster children in South Jersey are properly cared for.
It will also increase awareness about the necessity for policy makers and volunteers to be aware about the issues faced by neglected and abused children.
Since its inception in January 2008, the CapeBank Charitable Foundation has awarded more than $344,000 to more than 90 area non-profit organizations, including the American Red Cross (Atlantic and Cape May County chapters), Cape Regional Medical Center Foundation, the Community Food Bank of New Jersey and the Big Brothers & Big Sisters program.
