Sunflower Children's Collective on the GMCF Community Hour Show Episode - 237

Sunflower Children's Collective operates as an umbrella organization encompassing three vital agencies serving vulnerable children: Sunflower CASA, Stepping Stones Child Advocacy Center, and Sunflower Bridge Child Exchange and Visitation Center. CASA volunteers serve as court-appointed advocates for abused and neglected children, walking alongside them through their court cases to ensure their voices are heard and needs are met.

• CASA volunteers provide crucial advocacy for children in the court system due to abuse and neglect
• New two-Saturday training format launching in October to make volunteer training more accessible
• Recently acquired a dedicated vehicle (nicknamed "CARSA") for staff to visit children placed throughout Kansas
• Successfully navigating funding challenges after temporary loss of federal expansion grant
• Implementing innovative therapy program for children with problematic sexualized behaviors, with 98% success rate
• Currently seeking gas cards or fuel donations to support their outreach vehicle
• Planning to reapply for federal funding in 2026 to continue expansion into underserved counties

We would love to have support from the community for gas money. We've created a Give Butter link on our website and in our newsletters where you can donate to help fuel our outreach vehicle.
