One of our values at TLC is "Would She Weep?" We want to love and serve our city so well that if TLC were no longer here, Grand Rapids would truly feel the loss.

One of the ways we live out this value is through CarePortal.

CarePortal is an online platform that connects local churches with real, tangible needs identified by trusted community agencies serving families throughout Grand Rapids. We believe CarePortal is one of the best ways to understand the needs in our city and to step in with practical support when those needs arise.

Joining the CarePortal Team simply means you're willing to receive email notifications about requests from local agency workers and consider how you might help meet those needs. There's no obligation to respond to every request—just an opportunity to be aware and available.

If this sounds like something you'd like to be part of, we'd love to have you join us!

On September 27 at 9:00 a.m. in the Pre-Teen Room, we'll hear from David Giang, who will share how CarePortal works, which local agencies are currently using the platform, and how we can best come alongside our neighbors in Grand Rapids.

Whether you're already on the CarePortal Team or simply interested in learning more, this meeting is for you. We hope you'll join us as we discover more ways to love and serve our city well.

Sunday, September 27th 9AM in the Preteen Room
