Box lunch fund raiser benefits CASA

Child advocates of El Dorado County is having its annual box lunch fundraiser April 10.

Volunteers will deliver 3,000 lunches from Pollock Pines to Rancho Cordova by noon that day.

Funds raised will help pay for recruiting, training and supporting new advocates to help more abused and neglected kids in El Dorado County get into safe, permanent homes.

CASA is a nonprofit organization providing court mandated advocate services to approximately 350 children annually removed from their homes by the juvenile court system due to abuse or neglect.
