Macy Davis
Advocate Coordinator
advcoor3@casavermilion.org
Macy moved to Danville ten years ago and has considered it home ever since. Before CASA, she was the head baker at the Mad Goat Coffee Bakery, which jump started her passion for being involved in her community. Through her own experience with family building, advocating for children in the foster care system quickly became both a career and personal goal. Macy joined the CASA team as an Advocate Coordinator in October of 2022 and is excited to continue to be part of changing our community and children’s lives for the better.
