Bergen CASA is part of a national non-profit that provides one-on-one trained advocates for children when they enter the foster system. These volunteers are their voice, make sure they get all the services that are due them, and establish a relationship with the child like no other adult in their lives during this time of transition. Volunteers are always needed. Bergen County does not have enough volunteers for every child that is in foster care. For information visit www.BergenCASA.org. For directions or info on this event call 201-336-7530. Artistic Design is on the web at: www.Ginaavinodesign.com and www.soulscents.info.
