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.

TO OUR SUPPORTERS - THANK YOU
Your Generosity Makes a Difference!
Women Who Care Group has selected to support our non-profit!
Our mission at Catawba Valley Guardian ad Litem Association is to provide foster children from District 25 with sports and educational activities that will allow them to learn and grow into productive adults. Any and all support goes to a wonderful cause.

URGENT NEED
Your Help Is Needed Today!
When children come into care, we like to provide them with an “Emergency Bag”, these contain toiletries, a new comfortable outfit and sometimes a blanket or stuff animal depending on the age of the child. Right now we are in need of comfortable outfits (sweat pants and t-shirt) in each of these sizes; Juniors/Women sizes XS, M, L, XXL and Men sizes S, M, L, XL. We do accept gently used clothing as well, but do prefer new items for these bags.
Donations can be mailed or dropped off at 3050 11th Ave Dr. SE, Hickory NC 28601.
CHILDREN ARE GREAT IMITATORS. SO GIVE THEM SOMETHING GREAT TO IMITATE.
