CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — CASA of the Coastal Bend joined First Edition to talk about the urgent need for volunteers to help advocate for children in the foster care system. CASA —short for Court Appointed Special Advocates—trains everyday people to stand up for the best interests of abused and neglected children navigating the court system. CASA says hundreds of kids in the Coastal Bend still need someone in their corner, and more volunteers are essential to help meet the demand.
