We stood side by side as a community to say something that matters: our children matter, and we’re not looking away.

A heartfelt thank you to Mayor Matt Talbert of Sterlington, Mayor Gerald Brown of Richwood, Mayor Staci Albritton Mitchell of City of West Monroe, and C Morgan McCallister for standing in on behalf of Mayor Friday Ellis for Monroe City, for coming together to proclaim April 15, 2026 as a day to Stand for Hope Together for Child Abuse Prevention. Moments like that remind us how powerful it is when leaders use their voices for something bigger than themselves.

We were also honored to recognize incredible individuals who are making a lasting impact in our community:
✨ Humanitarian Award: Susie Halley, Trees of Righteousness
✨ Outstanding Service Award: Wayne Singley & Kalinciar Hunter, OPSO
✨ Purpose with Passion Award: Sherneeka Burrell, OJJ
✨ Excellence in Advocacy: Amber Driggers, CASA Volunteer

Your dedication, compassion, and service are changing lives every single day.

A special thank you to Pop&Posie Party and Living Water Sodas for their generous in-kind donations and for helping make today feel so welcoming and special.

Our Story

The Center for Children and Families is an umbrella nonprofit made up of a variety of programs with one collective mission in mind, to stand for hope by promoting safe, healthy environments through advocacy, counseling, education, and prevention. Our programs include:

CASA of Northeast Louisiana

When an abused or neglected child is removed from their home and placed in foster care, a Court Appointed Special Advocate (or CASA) serves as the voice for this child by being the eyes and ears for the court system. Our trained staff recruit and coordinate volunteers to advocate for the child's best interest, and ultimately provide stability and support during this time.
