COMMUNITY
Partnering with CASA for Kids
Help make this holiday season special for an abused or neglected child. This holiday season, First State Bank has located local children in need through
CASA and will be providing them gifts.
If you would like to participate with us, please stop by one of our 3 Comal County branches to "Adopt a Star" before November 30. The Stars list a child’s name, age and gift ideas. The gifts will need to be dropped off at the same branch by Friday, Dec. 2.
CASA of Central Texas advocates for abused and neglected children in the community by recruiting, training and supporting community volunteers.
Program Details:
- Take a Star and purchase items that are age appropriate for the child. Wish list items are included on the Star and you can also purchase other items such as clothing, toiletries, books, toys, etc.
- All gifts need to be returned to the First State Bank branch where you retrieved your Star. Please attach the Star with the unwrapped gifts.
- All items should be purchased new and not used. This is for liability reasons.
