Join us in the living room as Hello Austin County welcomes Candice Ramos, a Faith Based Community Engagement Specialist with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Candice shares the story behind the Stand With Me Summit, an annual regional event designed to connect churches, volunteers, and community partners with the needs of children and families involved with CPS.
During the conversation, Candice explains how the summit began, how CarePortal helps churches meet vetted needs, and why the event continues to grow every year. She also shares what attendees can expect, including mentorship opportunities, prayer, worship, booths, resource partners, and ways to support families through simple acts of service.
Whether you feel called to foster, adopt, volunteer, pray, provide meals, or simply learn more, this summit helps guide anyone with a heart to serve. The goal is simple: give every child and family the support they need to find stability, hope, and community.
