CarePortal is an online tool that helps to connect churches with various needs that come up in the neighbourhoods around them. Here is the way it works – Child Serving Agency workers upload requests concerning vulnerable children and their families to an online interface. For participating churches, this alerts their CarePortal Response Team to the need. If the team is able to meet that need, the Point Person and those helping with the delivery will be connected with the family.

The Tier 1 requests are generally for physical needs. In some cases, the church may provide a bed to new foster parents, help a mother pay her rent for a month to preserve the biological family, or provide household needs to a teen who is ageing out of foster care. The hope is that each interaction will leave the family with a neighbourhood connection in the midst of challenging times. And to let them know that wherever they find themselves, they have a community of people supporting them.
