Join CASA in the garden every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday as we grow produce to feed Madison County’s seniors. Activities will include planting, weeding, and later in the season harvesting and delivering produce to seniors’ homes. Novice and expert gardeners, groups and individuals alike are welcome. Email info@casamadisoncty.org or call 256-533-7775 for more information.

Need gift ideas for your loved ones who have it all? Don’t go to the mall! Instead make a donation to CASA in their honor and pay tribute to your loved ones while helping seniors in Madison County. So this Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthday, anniversary, or graduations, think of CASA. We’ll send your loved one a special acknowledgement informing them of your donation. This card will tell them exactly how their tribute is changing the lives of seniors in Madison County.

Here’s how your donations will help Madison County seniors:
$400: Building a wheelchair ramp so a senior can safely exit their home
$300: Adopting a row at the CASA Garden, providing essential nutrition
$150: Keeping a senior cool with an air conditioner during the summer
$125: Supplying a senior with a tub transfer bench
$60: Installing handrails to prevent harmful falls
$40: Providing a week’s supply of protective undergarments
$30: Purchasing a much needed food box
$20: Giving a senior a fan to provide relief from the summer heat

CASA is a registered 501 (c) (3). All donations are tax deductible and stay locally to help seniors in Madison County. Donating to CASA is easier than ever! Click here to donate by credit card or checks can be mailed to our office, 701 Andrew Jackson Way, Huntsville 35801.
To ensure your loved ones receive their acknowledgement by the desired date, please send your donation 2 weeks before.
