A witness delivering testimony told lawmakers that Care Portal helps neighbors connect to support children in need, saying, "government cannot love a child, but neighbors can." The speaker described the portal as "not a big government solution" but as a tool that facilitates neighbor-to-neighbor assistance so resources and relationships "get to where they need to go when they need to be there."
The testifier thanked the program for its service and emphasized the platform’s role in creating connections rather than replacing community effort with government programs. Beyond those remarks, the provided transcript segment does not record a vote, motion, or formal committee action on the topic.
