CarePortal: The Heart of Prevention

All across our community there are children and families facing incredible challenges by no

fault of their own. We believe that the right resource at the right time can not only meet their

tangible needs, but also open a door of hope and transformation.

The needs featured on CarePortal are vetted by child welfare professionals who know the

struggles of the families. The top five most frequently requested needs on CarePortal are:

We believe as a community, when we meet the right need at the right time, we can engage

families in meaningful relationships, and we will see more children stay safely at home in

their own communities, and see fewer children removed from their homes and entering the

foster care system.

We can help prevent abuse and neglect this by strengthening families in our community and

building a relationship with them before a crisis occurs.
