Shoals CASA
Community Partners assisting our cause
Shoals CASA is always looking for ways to connect with our local community leaders and businesses to share in our passion and mission of helping local abused and neglected children navigate the court and child welfare systems.
Each year we work diligently to advocate for the best interest of local abused and neglected children within the Shoals area. It's due to our community partners that we are able to maintain a high level of care and consistency. Consider today ways that you can help bring awareness and support to local abused children today!
From Idea to Reality: The Evolution of Shoals CASA
CASA was established in Florence Alabama in February 2002 by Judge Larry Mac Smith. Since 2002 we have worked hard to stand up for local abused and neglected children, advocating for children to obtain safe and permanent homes. We proudly serve Lauderdale and Colbert Counties.
