Help Fill the Truck for CASA!
Presented by MCGA
It may be hot outside, but we’re bringing the holiday spirit early — because every child deserves a little magic, no matter the season.
MCGA is on a mission to fill an entire semi-truck with toys for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) — an incredible organization that supports kids in the foster care system with advocacy, hope, and consistency.
