What The Church is Saying“Families in real need are being helped. Since the requests are coming from professional welfare workers we don't have to worry if someone is just trying to take advantage of well-meaning people. Most of all, children are able to remain in environments that are favorable to their overall welfare.”
“I think the Care Portal is the perfect opportunity to be the church as described in Acts.”

What Child Welfare Workers Are Saying
“This donation prevented a former foster child and her son from being evicted.”
“This gift will allow the child to return to the parent's care. She will be able to have a bed to sleep in and be safe.”
“This is an amazing gift from God. You have helped this family, who struggles day to day, and shown them that others care about them...they are not lost in this world. I'm in awe.”

A Note from CarePortal NYC Coordinator
The need in this city is great. I believe that the church can meet the needs of those struggling here in New York City. Through collaboration of child welfare and churches, CarePortal exists to unlock a resource for agencies and unlock the church to help those struggling within their own community. -Sadie Elliott CarePortal NYC Coordinator
