CSC Tennessee

🩵We had a great time last night at The Church at Station Hill!

🩵We had an amazing group of volunteers who chose to spend Friday night with a bunch of kids so that Foster, Adoptive, and Special Needs Families could have a respite night.

🩵What a blessing to these parents putting in hard work! One couple said they had not had a date in 3 years! They were almost in tears as they thanked the group.

🩵This was only possible because of amazing volunteers willing to love vulnerable children and the adults who care for them!

Please consider helping us restock our closet with the most needed items. They can be found on our Walmart Registry Thanks in advance! men's underwear, pants, and deodorant!

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our hearts at CarePortal are immensely heavy for those affected by the devastation, loss, and sorrow. CarePortal Family — this is a crucial time for us to come together as a community and support one another.

Neighbor by neighbor, neighbor to neighbor, we can make a difference.

Now is the time to log on to CarePortal.org and explore real-time, vetted needs across the East Coast. From clothing and bedding to diapers, baby formula, and groceries, there are so many ways you can help.

By contributing—whether through financial donations or tangible goods—you empower local churches to provide direct support to those in need within their communities. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, holds the potential to make a lasting impact. And if you’re unable to assist financially or materially, we humbly ask that you join us in prayer, asking for protection, healing, and hope for all those affected.

CarePortal Family, let’s unite in our commitment to care and support our country during this challenging time.

Together, we can provide hope and healing to those who need it most.

Thankful for the invitation to the amazing Montgomery Co Community Advisory Board Meeting this month at YAIPak. What a great group working to change their community, one need at a time! So grateful for you!

Connection looks like moving a bed from a facility to a loving home choosing to adopt a medically fragile child. We pray God’s blessings over this sweet family as they do the most important work of caring for one of the most vulnerable!

🩵So blessed to have Brentwood Baptist Church staff from 4 different campuses serve at the DCS office in Columbia this morning. 🩵

🩵We were just one of the many worthy places they served all over Middle Tennessee. We felt so loved to have the staff show God’s love the vulnerable children in South Central and the adults who care for them through service and prayer. 🩵

💙Sometimes connection looks like 3 sweet lovelies ready and waiting to help welcome home 3 children to their new beds when they reunite with Mom and Dad.

💙Thanks to all the Wrapped in Love Foster Closet volunteers who made it possible for a mama to shop with dignity for her 3 littles. 💙

What a pleasure to connect and serve through CarePortal! Connection changes everything!

Let's support Grandma taking in her 4 grands and help them have a place for family time together by helping with this request. Please share and sign up if you can help.

Great day in Northeastern TN! Raising awareness about the power of Connecting through CarePortal!

Happy to be able be Rachel Lawson’s sidekick from SMILE Foster Closet at the Strong Symposium in Sullivan Co! She is a great example of how to show God’s love to vulnerable children and the adults who care for them! Look forward to touring the Foster Closet later!

Love that I have the privilege to train DCS Workers, all over Tennessee, how to create and manage requests in CarePortal! Love my job!

School supply shopping and the excitement of a new backpack are experiences many people have the privilege to experience. It can be a cherished experience for so many. But let's also acknowledge that this isn't everyone's reality. Not every child has the opportunity to start the school year with everything they need. Imagine the difference we can make: a child having enough supplies for the first time, a school where no kid has to feel like the odd one out.

Together, we can ensure every child has the tools they need to succeed. Let's come together and make a positive impact in our community. Your support can truly change lives. We invite you to meet a school related request on CarePortal today. 🎒✏️🧡
