In this episode of The Giving Nook, I’m joined by the incredible Angie Blumel, President and CEO of Jackson County CASA—a Kansas City nonprofit fiercely advocating for children who have experienced abuse and neglect. Angie shares the powerful mission behind Jackson County CASA, the urgent need for volunteer advocates, and the impact a single, consistent adult can have in a child’s life. We dive into the realities facing children in the child welfare system, the challenges nonprofits face in today’s funding landscape, and the heart behind CASA’s work to ensure every child’s voice is heard and valued. Whether you're a nonprofit leader, donor, advocate, or simply someone who believes every child deserves a champion, this conversation will inspire you to lean in and make a difference.
