Outreach

careportal.org

CarePortal has done for child welfare what other tech platforms have successfully done to disrupt entire industries. Just as ride-sharing and home-sharing services have unlocked value and connection in places where it didn’t exist before, CarePortal enables care-sharing: a method of collaboration that empowers people to share the responsibility of caring for people in need. Right now, in real-time. Real, systemic change is occurring in communities to reverse our nation’s foster care crisis as a result of the meaningful connections formed through CarePortal. Not through more programs. Not through more taxes. But through connection among a pre-existing network of caring people and local churches engaging in cross-sector collaboration, working together to facilitate local, proactive, and effective care for kids. Cross & Crown Church partners with CarePortal through publicity, volunteer support, and donation of funds and items for children and families in crisis.

shield616.org

SHIELD616 was formed with the peace officer on patrol in mind. They have since seen the need to help protect all first responders. The goal of SHIELD616 is two-fold. First, to equip every first responder with necessary, advanced active-shooter/crowd control gear. Second, to provide a support group for that first responder who will pray for the first responder and his or her family on a daily basis and shower the first responder with support and encouragement throughout the year. Cross & Crown Church has been able to outfit 14 police officers with protective gear and match them with a family in our church for ongoing prayer and support.
