In the spirit of our Community Partners program, today we're highlighting two of our Community Partners, working together to make our community better. According to Yamhill County CASA's executive director, Sarah Johnson, Chuck Colvin Ford Nissan "has been a consistent supporter the last couple of years." She noted that their donation during their 2024 Season of Giving campaign allowed for the recruitment of new CASA volunteers in early 2025, which helped them meet the increasing demand for services. Find out more at https://www.yccasa.org/what-s-happening

When organizations come together, through monetary sponsorships, staff volunteers, or donations to contests and raffles, our entire community benefits. Chuck Colvin Ford Nissan embodies the belief that when local businesses step up, the whole community wins.

Both organizations also participate in the News-Register Community Partners program of advertisers. Our business partners in this program ensure we can keep telling stories like this one about Mel Baughman, CASA volunteer.

Read why she claims being a CASA Volunteer "is the most meaningful work I've ever done," in this article: https://newsregister.com/article?articleTitle=stopping-by-advocating-for-children--1744387796--51612--
