The Fort Worth Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators is accepting donations until October 17 for its second annual HALO HOUSE, a project created by the HALO Society to assist Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) and the casework supervisors.
Donations assist children that have been abused and neglected and are going through the court process while parental rights are being determined. Many times, a relative is willing to give the children a safe, loving and permanent home. Some children return to their parents after a year-long process during which the parents must show stability and earn their children back to a “new” safe home. Donations also assist teenagers that are not adopted, that are in the foster system and have needs, but no parents or adults to stand up
for them and help them.
Donated items can be new or used and only non-perishable items. Ideal items include car seats, strollers, diapers, play pens, cradles, high chairs, baby bedding, blankets, comforters, towels and pillows. Gift cards to Target, Wal-Mart or other stores would allow advocates and supervisors to
purchase shoes, clothing and other specialized items for children of all ages. Toys and clothes are not needed.
Drop off sites are Cantey Hanger Plaza, 600 W. 6th Street, Suite 300, Fort Worth, and CASA, Mallick Tower at Summit Avenue, Suite 505, Fort Worth.
