Become Part of our Careportal Ministry Team

At St. Mary Magdalene & St. Martin, we believe that Christ calls us to love not just in word, but in action—and the CarePortal Ministry is one of the most tangible ways we live out that call.


CarePortal connects us directly with families in need—many of them referred by social workers—giving us the opportunity to offer not just items like cribs, diapers, groceries, or even a small refrigerator, but also the love and presence of Christ. Every request shared through CarePortal is reviewed by our team, and when we're able to respond, we do so not just with goods, but with grace.


As summer winds down, we’re stepping into a strategic moment — a time to strengthen our Response Teams and prepare for a Fall full of opportunity, connection, and impact.


CarePortal is inviting anyone interested to join for a special Zoom Responder Training Initiative this August, led by some of the most gifted and experienced CarePortal Network Leaders from Central and South Florida. These leaders have equipped numerous churches across the state and are passionate about helping your team feel confident and ready to respond well.


These 2-hour Zoom trainings are designed to serve both new responders and those needing a refresher. Whether your team members are just getting started or have been responding for years, they’ll walk away with helpful tools, vision, and practical encouragement.
