CASA of the Fox Cities is dedicated to providing Court Appointed Special Advocates for children who have experienced neglect and abuse within the child welfare system. Their mission is to ensure that each child has a consistent, trained, and caring adult advocating for their needs during a critical time in their lives. With a focus on strengthening families and communities, CASA of the Fox Cities aims to help children achieve safe and permanent homes while actively working to break the cycle of generational trauma. They create an inclusive environment and serve all youth and families, including those within the LGBTQIA community, as they work towards making a lasting impact. Generated from the website

HistoryIn 1982 after hearing a news report about a local company laying off 400 employees, Tom Schiltz, founder of St. Joseph Food Program, asked himself, what would he do if he found himself in the same situation and how could he help those who are currently unemployed...With the help of dear friends and contacts, ST. Joseph Food Program was born! Starting in the basement of St. Joe's Church and moving into the basement of St. Joe's School, the program landed on the MOCA campus in 1996 where we currently reside along with United Way, LEAVEN and the Community Clothes Closet.SpecialtiesSupplementing nutritional needs, free of charge, for the economically distressed within our local communities.
