The Christmas season is coming to a close. This time is known as the Season of Giving.

Many are in need during this time and daily in our community. In November, the community of Red River Parish came together for a Community Thanksgiving Service and donated the offering for CASA of Central Louisiana.

CASA (court-appointed special advocates) is dedicated to serving the abused and neglected children of Natchitoches, Red River, and Sabine Parishes.

One of the agency’s requests was that children have their own blankets to keep them warm. From the offering, 87 fleece blankets were donated for the children. A special thanks to Mrs. Debbie Jones for coordinating the gift. 

If you want to help, make a difference as a volunteer or a donation, visit the website at www.casanat.org to sign up. Training classes begin in January 2025.
