CarePortal
We’re proud to share the incredible impact CarePortal is making in our community since launching in July 2023:
We are partnered with 7 agencies (organizations who share requests onto the CarePortal dashboard), 7 local churches (who help meet CarePortal requests), and 51 community members (individuals who help provide funding and tangible needs for CarePortal requests).
We’ve seen an economic impact of $97,550, which are funds alleviated from local agencies and struggling families.
226 children and 94 adults have been served in our county.
