CASA of Jackson County

CASA’s mission is to assist the elderly and homebound who have unmet needs, with volunteer services. Our programs are designed to enable them to maintain their independence, dignity, health and safety, in their own homes.

CASA provides services at no cost to our clients. Our services are based solely on need, without regard to income, race, social status or religion.

The success of our mission relies in no small part to the tremendous support from the local community.

CASA's programs offer services to meet the changing needs of the community, and avoid duplication of the work done by other agencies.  We work with other agencies to better serve our aging and homebound population. 

Food Pantry - We accept donations of fresh garden vegetables and fruits, plus non-perishable food items, canned goods, boxed food, etc.  The CASA Food Pantry is a member of the AmpleHarvest.org Campaign.
