Welcome To The Web Exchange
Welcome to the Adopt-a-Caseworker Web Exchange! This online program allows us to list available donations that were not needed by a Partner group's "adopted" Caseworker through the Adopt-a-Caseworker program. Through this service, all Caseworkers have 1st come, 1st serve access to donations available in our community for abused & neglected children and their families.
Who can Access this program?
Child Protective Caseworkers in Greene County, MO
This includes Caseworkers from Children's Division and Performance Based Contractors.
How does it work?
Partner groups and donors in our community are matched with a Child Protective Services Caseworker through our Adopt-a-Caseworker program. If the Partner group or donor has an item to donate, but their "adopted" Caseworker doesn't have a need for that item on his/her caseload, the item is listed on the Web Exchange by Ambassadors for Children.
When a new item is listed, all Greene County Child Protective Caseworkers receive an email notification. Caseworkers are then able to view the listing and contact the Partner group to receive the item for a child/family on their caseload on a 1st come, 1st serve basis.
All posted items are automatically removed from the Web Exchange 7-14 days after being posted (depending upon how long the Partner group is willing to hold the item). If an item is removed and has not been sought by a Caseworker, the Partner group will receive email notification of other local agencies that accept donations in that category (appliances, cleaning supplies, clothing, etc...).
