Mission Opportunities

Mission Focus

This week's Mission Focus is on our CarePortal partnership and ministry. CarePortal is a way that caseworkers with local non-profits are able to safely communicate with us needs of the families in their care. These needs could include bunk beds, clothing, diapers, and more. The funds raised will help meet these needs when individuals can't. If you'd like to sign up to receive CarePortal notifications about needs in our community, please sign up here. If you'd like to be part of our team and help physically meet these needs, please contact Kelly Ping.
