CarePortal

CarePortal, simply stated, is a way to connect people who can help, with people who need help. It’s a way for churches to step into their surrounding community and meet immediate needs for children and families in crisis. Here’s how it works…

Step 1 – A child-serving professional identifies a need for a child or family in crisis.

Step 2 – The child-serving professional vets that need and takes a few moments to type that need into the CarePortal system.

Step 3 – Through the CarePortal technology platform, churches and community members in the vicinity are notified of the needs.

Step 4 – Churches and community members partner together to help meet the family’s needs.

Last year, 4KIDS of SWFL began partnering with CarePortal to begin building the infrastructure, recruiting agencies to enter needs and churches to respond to those needs. We have seen 66 needs met so far, which served 118 children.

We’re so excited to have our first agency and church trained in Charlotte County, Jesus Loves You Ministry and Murdock Baptist Church, respectively. We cannot wait for more people to catch the vision for this amazing ministry opportunity and join us as we serve families and children in crisis. Together, we will make a difference. The best is yet to come!
