First Lady Casey DeSantis highlighted the expansion of Florida’s CarePortal platform to meet immediate needs of vulnerable adults, including persons with disabilities, veterans, the elderly and any other individual in Florida who needs assistance.
CarePortal – initially created to support children and families in need – is a platform that connects individuals and families in need of support with faith institutions and local businesses willing to help. This expansion builds on the success of the portal to date, which has led to nearly 500 churches and over 5,000 community members helping nearly 13,400 children and their families since 2020.
