Advocates for Children Georgia

🎉Gordon County is now home to a new office of Advocates for Children. 👏🏻 The opening was celebrated with members of the local Chamber of Commerce and community leaders on Aug. 14. Professionals and volunteers working with the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA of NW GA) to guide children in foster care through the court system. In addition, Advocates helps young adults 18-24 in Gordon without permanent homes to obtain housing so they can be more self-sufficient and independent. Advocates for Children serves 11 NW GA counties, and this new office will expand its services in Gordon. #gordoncounty #advochild #advocatesforchildren #helpingfamilies #BuildingHope

🏠 Exciting Update from Newman House! 🌟 Things are taking shape at Newman House! 🛠️ We're thrilled to announce that the framing has been completed on the first floor of our new home. This two-story house will feature 14 bedrooms, providing a safe and loving environment for children and youth aged 7-21. Every day brings us closer to our goal, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome these children home! Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to make progress towards opening our doors. Thank YOU for your continued support, and thank you to Womack, Lewis, and Smith and 7 hills architecture + consulting for their partnership on this life changing project! 🌈❤️ #NewmanHouse #BuildingForHope #CommunitySupport

Advocates has high hopes for our teens moving into Newman House this winter. The central Cartersville location provides ample employment, community involvement and educational opportunities to offer a well-rounded lifestyle. Cartersville High School, a top-ranked public high school, and Georgia Highlands College, part of the University System of Georgia, are less than 5 miles away from the Newman House. #newmanhouse #advochild #advocatesforchildren #BuildingHope #helpingfamilies

***URGENT NEED*** Our children's shelter needs a minivan to transport children to schools, doctors' appointments, activities, and more. If you can donate a safe and working minivan, it would mean so much to the children to have dependable transportation. We would love to have a later model to avoid costly/frequent repairs, and a second row of captain's chairs would help our children get in and out better. Please call our President, Rachel Castillo, at 770-387-1143 x 203 or email rachel@advochild.org. We are hoping someone responds! #BuildingHope #helpingfamilies #advochild #advocatesforchildren #homelessyouth
