A Special Message from Advocates for Children

The Columbus, Indiana-based office of Advocates for Children was destroyed by a fire that devastated the entire United Way Center on December 24, 2009. Thankfully, no one was injured as a result of the fire. Our offices were housed on the top floor of the west side of the building, which was completely destroyed by fire. We have not yet been able to enter the office space, due to safety concerns. Our services to abused and neglected children in Bartholomew, Decatur, Jackson, and Jennings counties have continued uninterrupted since the fire.


The following is a video of Channel 8's broadcast covering the fire:



The staff members are working from home and a small office "hub" temporarily, and we hope to move everyone into office space located in the downtown Columbus area in early February, 2010. All CASA volunteers should have the necessary contact information for the Case Coordinator supervising their cases.


Prospective volunteers should contact the Office Manager, at 812.372.2808, for additional information.
