Help Iowa Children.

IOWA STATISTICS

According to the Iowa Department of Human Services, over 34,328 reports of child abuse or neglect occurred in Iowa in 2018. Nearly 9,000 of those reports were founded to be accurate and children age 5 and younger accounted for 47% of the cases. 

​

Over $19.2 million was spent on the foster care system alone in 2018; not counting shelters, social workers, adoptions, family counseling, and other related services. Yet, we still have a crisis in Iowa when it comes to helping displaced children in foster care receive adequate oversight and protection.  This is why the Iowa CASA program exists.
