CASA holding Pizza Hut fundraiser Thursday

Press release

People have the chance Thursday to support local children in need while having some pizza at Pizza Hut.

At any given time, 100 children are in foster care in Hill County and the number is expected to continue rising. These children come into the child welfare system through no fault of their own.

The needs of Hill County’s children coming into care are more complicated than ever before, and life in foster care can be chaotic. Every child deserves the support of a caring, consistent adult with the training to help them heal and thrive.

CASA volunteers are a constant for the child in a time of chaos. A child may have multiple social workers, attorneys, therapists and foster placements throughout the life of the case but only one CASA volunteer, which can make all the difference for the child’s future.

Thursday, people can help support the local CASA program and the volunteer advocates who are helping kids who have experienced abuse and neglect.

Visit Havre’s Pizza Hut and mention CASA when making a purchase and the restaurant will donate 20 percent of the purchase price to help support CASA and further its work for abused children.

For more information about the event or about CASA and the upcoming orientation to volunteer training May 8 people can contact Terry Hanson at [email protected] or 265-6743, ext. 1135.
