How CarePortal Has Served 600,000+ Children and Families with Adrien Lewis

In this episode of Going Big!, host Kevin Gentry interviews Adrien Lewis, Founder and President of CarePortal, about building a “care-sharing network” that connects vetted needs for kids and families in crisis with local churches, businesses, and neighbors who can respond quickly. CarePortal connects the real-time needs of community members (submitted by caseworkers and agencies) with neighbors who can step in fast — strangers helping strangers. Adrien shares his personal origin story, the challenges of scaling a new model, and real examples of how one small need (like a crib) can become long-term support and stability. Learn how CarePortal works, why trust is central to the model, and how anyone can get involved in their own community.
