It’s National Gift Card Day! 🎁

For young adults who have recently aged out of foster care, everyday expenses can add up quickly. An unused gift card can help provide a little extra support as they navigate life on their own.

Have a gift card you’re not using? Consider donating it to Capital Area CASA to help a young adult who has recently aged out of foster care.

Your unused gift card could make a meaningful difference. 💙

We can’t wait for our 2026 Holiday Open House!

Want to help make Christmas possible for children in foster care? Do you know a church, company, community group, or individual donor who may want to "adopt" a child or sponsor the Holiday Open House?

We have an Amazon Wishlist and can provide a gift guide for companies who want to hold a toy drive. There are many ways to get involved and help make the holidays a little brighter for a child in foster care.

If you have questions, please contact Shea Smith Breaux ([email protected]).

We owe a big thank you to the Eta Kappa Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated at LSU for joining Capital Area CASA to pack food boxes for foster families as one of their service projects!

We had such a great time working with this group! They jumped right in, brought great energy, and we’re so grateful for their help. We love seeing all the wonderful things they’re doing in our community.

And be sure to check out the last photo featuring our very own Advocate Supervisor, Ricketta, who is also an AKA! 💗💚 Thank y'all for showing up for local foster families!

The Courage to Say Yes 💙

Becoming a CASA volunteer isn't always easy, but the most meaningful commitments rarely are.

In this month's Message from the Director, Louisiana CASA Executive Director Amanda Moody reflects on the challenges of volunteer recruitment, the courage it takes to step into the lives of children and families during difficult times, and the extraordinary individuals who choose to show up, speak up, and stay committed.

Sometimes, making a difference begins with something as simple as an invitation. Who in your life might have what it takes to become a CASA volunteer?

Who says every organization has just one boss? At Capital Area CASA, we’re celebrating the incredible people who help lead, guide, and shape our mission!

Our Board of Directors does so much more than attend meetings. They provide leadership, ask the tough questions, open doors in our community, support our staff, and help ensure CASA has the resources and direction needed to advocate for children who have experienced abuse and neglect.

Their leadership helps make it possible for our CASA volunteers to stand beside children in foster care, speak up for their best interests, and help change their stories for the better. ❤️

Today, we’re giving a big shout-out to our board members for investing their time, talents, connections, and hearts in CASA. We’re grateful to have such an amazing team of leaders in our corner!

Happy Boss’s Day to the people who help keep CASA moving forward and children at the heart of everything we do! 💙❤️
