Team in Cozad, Nebraska, collects 52 pounds of supplies for children in CASA
backpack

When a child is removed from a home due to neglect or abuse, they sometimes leave with no personal belongings. Our team in Cozad, Nebraska, wanted to make those difficult situations a bit easier for children by ensuring they have a backpack full of personal items.

Service Specialist Al spearheaded the drive, and the team donated 52 pounds of items that will fill backpacks for CASA of Dawson/Gosper Counties. CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocate, supports court-appointed volunteer advocacy for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

Items donated include pajamas, brush/comb, socks, toiletries, diapers, baby wipes, night-lights, stuffed animals and other items. These donations will be added to other items purchased by a local nonprofit and packed into backpacks for the children.

"Our hope is to give these children a little comfort in a scary, unfamiliar situation," says Al.

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
