Connecting Through CarePortal Since our partnership with CarePortal started in 2020, over 4,300 kids have been impacted! CarePortal is an online prevention platform that links churches and community members to the tangible needs of vulnerable families. Whether it’s a single mother of two in need of a new bed, or a father of three that just lost his job and needs assistance with groceries, CarePortal is helping keep kids at home and out of the foster care system. Check out a few recent requests that some of our 4KIDS Church Partners stepped up to meet and bless these families. In Broward County, the family member of a child being removed from his parents was eager to step up to love and care for him, but needed a few critical supplies before they could be approved to open up their home. A request for a toddler bed frame, mattress, and dresser was submitted in CarePortal, and soon after, a member of Rio Vista Church in Fort Lauderdale responded, offering to provide all of the requested items! We’re thrilled that this kiddo now gets to be in a safe, fully furnished home with a relative! 8
