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.
