The MigrantPortal Process

👨‍👩‍👧
Step 1
1 Uncovering Needs

A migrant family in need is identified by a trusted professional

Caseworkers, teachers, and social workers serve on the front lines — and they see needs up close.

Every community has professionals working in schools, child welfare, healthcare, and community centers who encounter migrant families daily. These connectors have first-hand knowledge of the critical and urgent needs that stand between a family and stability — from school enrollment to housing to basic necessities. MigrantPortal gives them a trusted channel to act on what they see.

Step 2
2 Submitting Needs

The connector vets and submits the family's need

Before a need is published, it goes through a thorough verification process.

Connectors — caseworkers, social workers, teachers, and agency staff — submit needs directly into MigrantPortal on behalf of the families they serve. Each request is reviewed to ensure it is accurate, legitimate, and genuinely important to the family's wellbeing. This layer of trust protects families and ensures responders can give with confidence. Family privacy is protected throughout.

Step 3
3 Sharing Needs

MigrantPortal alerts nearby churches and volunteers

Alerts go out instantly — by email and text — to responders near the family.

Once a need is submitted, MigrantPortal immediately notifies churches, volunteers, and partner organizations within close proximity. Local churches take a leading role in mobilizing their response teams to confirm they can meet the need — whether it's a tangible item, financial support, or relational care. Community organizations and individual donors can also respond, ensuring no need goes unmet due to a lack of resources.

Step 4
4 Meeting Needs

Churches and community partners ensure the family is helped

Real people show up. Real needs get met. Families experience genuine community care.

When a church or volunteer commits to a need, MigrantPortal coordinates the delivery of support directly to the family — tracked through the platform so connectors know the need is closed. Every met need is a real story of a family receiving dignity, safety, and hope. The connector closes the request, and the cycle of care continues for the next family in need.

Real Impact. Real Families.

Every number represents a migrant family that received hope through their local community.
