Welcome to CarePortal
Responding to needs in Child Welfare
In every community, there are children and families at a point of crisis, who need help. In those same communities, there are churches who care and want to take action. But what they need is a connection point. CarePortal is an innovative tool giving churches a real-time opportunity to respond.

Respite! What is that?
We have had MANY asks for "Respite" from Fostering Families that are in our own Church Family.
Respite (a.k.a. babysitting/child minding) is a need for ALL ages of children in care, and for the Families that love on them.
This could look like a few hours a week, to a maybe even a weekend every so often.
It is a need that is as individual as each child and each Fostering Family.
If you or your family could see yourselves stepping in to shore up these families please respond and we can begin a conversation!
We would love to create community and build beautiful resource pool (aka people like YOU) within our Church family.
**note** each agency requires different checks and balances but don't be intimidated -- each Foster Family can hand hold and help with all the steps involved.

# of people who will be helped:
People who can come along side and partner as Respite for Fostering Families in our Church.
