[West Plains, MO] – The 37th Judicial CASA in West Plains is pleased to announce that they have received a generous donation of several beautiful quilts and paintings from the South Central Correctional Center’s Restorative Justice Program. The quilts and paintings will be sold to the highest bidder via an online auction beginning August 9th. All available items will be on display on the second floor of the Ozarks Small Business Incubator (OzSBI) at 408 Washington Avenue, where the public is invited to view them Monday-Friday during normal business hours. An open reception with coffee and cookies will be held at OzSBI on August 21st from 2:00-4:00. The public is invited to attend the reception, view the available items, and learn more about 37th Judicial CASA.
All of the quilts and paintings were created by inmates in the SCCC’s Restorative Justice Program, a nonprofit program that offers offenders the opportunity to serve fellow citizens and strengthen social bonds that serve as the foundation of communities. The program takes many forms, including creating gardens and donating the produce, refurbishing used bicycles to donate, producing educational materials for schoolchildren, and crafting and donating items such as quilts, paintings, teddy bears, and more. In a recent example, a group of inmates in the Licking facility committed to creating 80 personalized quilts – one for every child in the Texas County foster system.
The quilts and paintings donated to the 37th Judicial CASA feature Missouri sports teams and are perfect for the sports fan in your life. They will be available for bidding through an online auction beginning on Thursday, August 9th, and ending on September 9th at 7:00 p.m. Anyone interested in bidding can access the online auction by visiting the Facebook page: @ 37thJudicialCASA or website: www.37thcasa.net.
