Community Networks

We’re building Community Networks, county by county, to connect people who can help with families that need help.

We partner with child-serving agencies to identify practical needs, then mobilize trained church volunteers and community members to meet real-time needs while establishing meaningful connections that can lead to ongoing support.

Using the CarePortal technology platform as our connection tool, we're creating a sustainable model where communities lead in caring for vulnerable children and families—preventing crises, keeping families together, and proving that when neighbors help neighbors, everyone thrives.

We’re turning compassion into action - simply & effectively.

Community Networks unite agencies, churches, local businesses and community members in caring for children and families in need.

How It Works

  • First, a child-serving agency identifies a practical need for a child or family they serve and enters it into the CarePortal platform.

  • Alerts are instantly shared with a network of local churches, businesses, and individuals who are prepared to work together to meet the need.

  • Items are gathered and delivered directly to the family by trained response team volunteers, facilitating community connection and relieving the burden on agency workers.

How It Works

Community Networks, connected through CarePortal, meet practical needs – like furniture for a single mom who is starting over after leaving an abusive relationship or essential baby items for an expecting mom.

Providing everything from cribs to clothing to basic necessities, Community Networks offer the dignity, compassion, and hope that comes from neighbors putting their faith into action.

When we work together, every child can be safe, secure & loved.
