The Friends of Lost Creek Forest are looking for volunteers to help with maintaining the Thomasville  Pollinator Garden on Mondays from 6:00 p.m. to dark and on Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m.-Noon. You can learn about native plants and pollinators, and spend time with others in a great outdoor environment.

Any age is welcome but HOTC does require any volunteers under the age of 16 to be accompanied by an adult. Bring loppers and work gloves if you have them. You are not required to stay the full length of time. Come when you can and stay for however long you would like.

Change a child’s story! Never Lost is currently seeking compassionate individuals interested in helping to change the story for a child in foster care by volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate® (CASA) in the CASA Kids Program. The CASA Kids volunteer program is generally a 12- to 18-month commitment to serve as a court appointed advocate for a child or young adult. After completion of a nationally-accredited training program, volunteers are appointed by a local judge to advocate for a child’s best interest in court.

As an advocate, you’ll get to know the child and caregivers on a personal level, observing health, safety, home care and emotional behaviors, and you’ll report your observations to the judge during the entirety of the child’s welfare case. Ideally, the end result for the child in your advocacy care is permanency in the preferred form of reunification with family, or through adoption or guardianship with a relative.  

If you are interested in becoming a CASA volunteer, please call (229) 225-4338 for more details. You may also fill out the volunteer form online.
