Our Story
EMBRACE Children & Families began in 2021 to provide support for foster and at-risk children in the Tenth Judicial Circuit of Missouri. Recognizing a need for a strong local network, our community came together to create an organization that could make a real difference in the lives of children and families navigating challenging circumstances.
