Today Pete is joined via phone by Colleen Smith from Court Appointed Special Advocates of Northwest Arkansas, also known as CASA. CASA is needing additional volunteers to advocate for children in the foster care system as the consequences of COVID-19 unfold, leaving some families more unstable and disadvantaged than others.
For more information, or to see if you are eligible to serve as a special advocate, visit CASA's official website.
Colleen also wants to remind KUAF's listeners that these children are more at risk now than ever. If you suspect that a child is being abused, contact the Crimes Against Children Hotline at 800-482-5964.
