Virtual Church Responder Training

Join us for a collaboration of church and agency leaders connected through CarePortal with the mission of serving kids and families in our community! Community Gatherings are table conversations where we discuss open opportunities to serve, ideas for deeper engagement and helpful connections and resourcing among friends.

We are so excited about the upcoming Community Gathering of Mayes County. Where we will make meaningful connections with leaders in the community, utilize Careportal, & continue to provide solutions to the foster care crisis happening in our own backyard. This Months Highlights: There are over 6,200 Churches in Oklahoma. If 1,000 Churches recruited one foster family per year and met one Careportal request a month, there would be more than enough support for children involved in the child welfare system. Careportal Item of the Month: Twin Bedding Sets

REGISTER FOR CUSTER COUNTY Community Meeting Dear Church Leaders, OKDHS and County Agency Staff, We are delighted to announce that our community coordinator, Kalie Kerth, has scheduled a Community Gathering for Custer County. Weatherford Federated Church will be our host this month. The address is  302 Custer St, Weatherford, OK, and they have graciously volunteered to host lunch! These Community Gatherings are essential in fostering collaboration and support among the faith community and local agencies. Our last gathering was so much fun, and Kalie Kerth, our Custer County Community Coordinator, shared a Custer County Resource Guide. Such a fantastic tool for navigating a plan to help our children and families in crisis! If you would like to receive one of these guides, please get in touch with Kalie or me; we will ensure you get one. Thank you, Kalie, for all your work on this guide!
