CASA of Mesa County has moved into a new office location in Grand Junction to accommodate a growing team and better serve children in the foster care system. The organization recently celebrated the move with a community open house.
Why it matters
The expansion allows the nonprofit to improve support for foster children by providing dedicated space for supervised parental visits and children's activities. This move addresses the operational constraints of their previous facility as volunteer advocacy demand continues to rise.
CASA of Mesa County manages a team of 70 volunteer advocates, representing a significant increase in capacity compared to their previous 1,200 square foot location. The new office is now located at 1048 Independent Avenue.
