TEMP$ Volunteers Needed

Care Assurance System for the Aging and Homebound of Madison County

701 Andrew Jackson Way Huntsville, AL 35801 (256) 533-7775www.casamadisoncty.org

The fourth annual No Place Like Home 5K Run/Walk will be held on Saturday, October 22nd, benefiting CASA of Madison County to help promote awareness for Madison County’s aging and homebound community members. Since 1979, CASA has provided volunteer services to help senior and homebound neighbors stay safe and independent in their own homes. All of the proceeds from this race will be used to support the services of CASA to its clients. NEW for this Year- COSTUME CONTEST – Get together your best The Wizard of Oz costumes for a chance to win some bling! Because Dorothy said it best: “There is no place like home!”

The TEMP$ Weatherization program provides assistance to seniors in preparation for the winter months. Close to 150 homes will need this service, and many volunteer teams are still required to get all the work done.

Volunteers work to lower winter heating bills for our aging neighbors by placing plastic on windows, caulking breaches, and insulating outside pipes. As an added safety measure for the

clients, volunteers also install and test smoke detectors in the homes.
