CASS CARES supports local homeless veterans, and these events are to raise awareness and donations to help homeless veterans, youth, and at-risk families. Join the community Choir, Rhythm Nation on Saturday, November 8th as they come together through the poser of song, to lift their voices and inspire one another, and honor our veterans, law enforcement, and first responders. On Sunday, November 9th, families can come out for an afternoon of fun, give-a-ways, and live music. There will be a health fair and community resources available. Rochelle School of the Arts will be the venue for our annual fashion show.
