Lake Forest Church Huntersville, in partnership with Alongside Families, has made it super simple to meet our local community’s direct needs. Using CarePortal below, please feel free to see the vetted, requested needs of people and families in real-time, within our direct radius. If you can fulfill one of these urgent needs, please get in touch with our Church Point Person for immediate action.
At Lake Forest Church Huntersville, we understand that crisis can inspire innovation and that better solutions are necessary to eliminate barriers and bring speed and efficiency to our work. This demand for better solutions has been embraced by organizations across virtually every industry, including the social sector.
Since its launch in 2015, CarePortal has disrupted child welfare in the same way that other tech platforms have disrupted entire industries. CarePortal enables care-sharing: a social impact service that matches caring people with local opportunities to make a positive difference for and with their community in real-time. Once a request is submitted, alerts are instantly emailed and/or texted to responders located within close proximity of the need.
As a local church that is deeply rooted in our community and has established trust among our members, Lake Forest Church Huntersville is perfectly positioned to meet the needs of those around us. We can mobilize our response teams to quickly determine if we can provide the tangible items, relational support, or child placement assistance that is needed. Our team members have completed special training, giving them the opportunity to physically deliver items and interact with the people directly served, sparking a chance for vulnerable families to gain ongoing, meaningful connection with members of the local faith community.
We believe that we can reverse the racial dis proportionality and disparity of Black children in the child welfare system and generate healthy outcomes for all families. By leveraging the power of CarePortal and the strength of our church community, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
