Care Portal Team Meeting

CarePortal Volunteer Meeting Invitation Date: May 4th, 12:30-1:30 PM Location: Room 107 (After Church Service) Light Lunch Provided We Need Volunteers for the CarePortal Team! If you have a heart for serving families in need, we would love for you to join our CarePortal team. At this meeting, we’ll discuss how the team reviews daily needs, decides whether to meet them or pass them on, and how volunteers can take action on specific tasks. We’re looking for compassionate individuals who are willing to:

• Review needs daily or weekly to help determine which needs we can meet and which to pass on
• Order items from Amazon or Walmart to meet the needs of local families
• Deliver the items directly to the families in need
• Build relationships by checking in with families and offering continued support
• Post needs to Facebook weekly to raise awareness and recruit help

What is CarePortal? CarePortal connects local churches, businesses, and individuals to children and families in need. Here’s how it works:

1. Uncovering Needs: A child or family in need is identified by a child-serving professional (e.g., social worker, school staff, healthcare provider).
2. Submitting Needs: The professional submits the verified family needs into CarePortal, ensuring that only legitimate requests are shared.
3. Sharing Needs: CarePortal alerts nearby churches and community members, enabling them to offer assistance directly.
4. Meeting Needs: Local churches, businesses, and individuals come together to provide resources, ensuring children and families get the support they need.

Fellowship Hi-Crest’s 2025 Partnership with CarePortal Fellowship Hi-Crest is excited to partner with CarePortal in 2025 to help meet urgent needs in Shawnee County. We hope you can join us to learn more about this wonderful initiative and how you can help make a difference in the lives of local families!
