Embrace hosts a weekend campout for 350 people! You can imagine the amount of supplies and food we need to take. If you have some time and could help sort and pack groceries, then load into our trailer, we would be so grateful!

Embrace's mission statement is to "connect willing hands with opportunities to serve children in foster, adoptive and kinship care." This can refer to anyone who is willing to help, but we believe that the Church is called to help be a solution to the massive problem of the foster and adoptive system in our community. Many children are hurting, feel forgotten and unloved and left lingering in foster care with no forever family. Many families are struggling under the burden of caring for someone else's child and feeling like there is no one to help them navigate the weighty, often difficult journey of fostering and adopting.

To combat these very common problems among those we serve, we partner with many churches in our area, collectively called the Embrace Church Network. If your church is interested in coming alongside us to serve the community of foster and adoptive children and their families and caregivers, please let us know. We would love to share more information about our efforts, the network and ways you can engage, whether you are a lay leader or head pastor!
