HIAWASSEE, Ga. – A Towns County resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, donated a $5000 check to benefit local charities. Towns County Commissioner Cliff Bradshaw equally divided the generous gift between three organizations: Enotah CASA, Almost There, and the Towns County Food Pantry.

CASA, an acronym for Court Appointed Special Advocates, is a network of community-based programs that recruit, train and support citizen-volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in courtrooms and communities. Volunteer advocates—empowered directly by the Enotah, Juvenile court—offer judges the critical information necessary to ensure that each child’s rights and needs are being attended to while in foster care.

Almost There works in partnership with the Enotah Judicical Circuit Drug Court program. The non-profit provides food, shelter, transportation, spiritual nurturing, and loving support to women recently released from incarceration.

Towns County Food Pantry s a ministry of the Towns County Cooperative Ministries. Its purpose is to help feed the needy of Towns County. The Towns County Food Pantry is a non-profit organization supported solely by area churches, business, groups and individuals.
