CASA Kids Room Near Completion
CASA of Humboldt is very close to having a positive place for children and volunteers to spend time together. By the end of August, stage three of the renovation project will be completed. The former garage will have insulated walls, electricity and heat.
"I'm very hopeful that we will be able to use this space for the advocate training that starts in September," said Yvonne Doble, Volunteer Coordinator, "It really will be a tremendous resource for all the volunteers, and especially the children. As an advocate myself, I've often been unable to find space to do the art or cooking projects my CASA kid would like to do."
The time line of the final stage of the project will be waiting on CASA securing the final funds.
“With another $50,000 to $100,000, the renovation will be finished. At that time training, advocate visits, and use of the kitchen will begin. We are still working on acquiring donated materials and labor to reduce the amount of funds we still need to raise,” said Steve Volow, Executive Director.
