ABOUT US
Who We Are
CVGAL was founded in April, 2013 by volunteers who believed in the need for more outside support for the state Guardian Ad Litem program.
Our Mission
CVGALA is committed to improving the lives of children in Foster Care, by providing funds for enrichment activities, and supporting the recruitment and retention of the Guardian Ad Litem to advocate for these children.

URGENT NEED
Your Help Is Needed Today!
We are need of a few necessities for our children experiencing foster care. Right now we are very short on and need twin size blankets, new bed pillows, and toiletries (shampoo, conditioner and body wash). These items are used for when children come into care or have to change placements. If you are able to help, they can be shipped to 3050 11th Ave DR SE, Hickory NC 28602 or donations can be dropped off to the same address.
CHILDREN ARE GREAT IMITATORS. SO GIVE THEM SOMETHING GREAT TO IMITATE.
