Foster Youth Connection Resource Day at Kissimmee Lakefront Park

Foster Youth Connection Resource Day, a chance for religious and family groups to show what they do locally to help serve the foster child population, was held Saturday at Kissimmee Lakefront Park.

CarePortal, which works with area churches to provide foster children and parents with immediate life needs, had a presence in learning what training is needed to get into the program. Foster Youth Connection was on hand to answer to answer the question, "What can you do to help our foster youth?'"

CarePortal started in Florida in September 2020, carrying on a nationwide effort that started in March 2015 and has assisted over 133,000 foster youth and families across the country.
