Piedmont CASA is coming to Orange County
Join us!
Piedmont CASA is expanding into Fluvanna, Madison, and Orange
The number of children we serve will jump approximately 45%
We already serve around 200 children each year. With this expansion, we will serve an additional 50-80 children.
Our footprint will increase 68%
We are currently serving 955 square miles. With this expansion, we will add close to 1,394 square miles, thus increasing our footprint to 2,349.
Your gift will spread hope!
Join us in spreading hope to more kids in foster care! Your donation will help ensure that all children and youth in foster care in these counties will have Piedmont CASA Volunteers and Bridges to Success Coaches.
Why Orange?
Orange County represents the final phase of our expansion plan. It spans 341 square miles, with parts of the county being closer and more oriented to Charlottesville, while other parts are closer to Fredericksburg. As with Madison, we are meeting with county professionals and residents to learn and to prepare. Some of our current Advocates already reside in Orange County, and we plan to recruit and train more Advocates from the local area. We intend to establish a local advisory board, and to include a representative from Orange County on our Board.
Since 2019, the number of children in foster care has been increasing annually. According to the Department of Social Services, there were 34 children in care in 2022, compared to 24 the year before.
