Ways to Help

Donate To EMBRACE →

 

Every child deserves love, safety, and support. At EMBRACE Children & Families, we work to meet the needs of foster and at-risk children across the Tenth Judicial Circuit of Missouri. But, we can't do it without you. Here are some meaningful ways you can make a difference.

Monetary Donations
Your gift allows us to respond quickly when a family welcomes a child into their home. For example, if a foster family accepts an infant but doesn’t have diapers, a car seat, or a baby monitor, EMBRACE can step in immediately to provide those essentials. With the foster system overwhelmed, every dollar truly makes a difference.

Gift Cards
Gift cards are a wonderful way to give foster children independence and dignity. Many teens in foster care have never had the chance to choose their own pair of shoes, a new outfit, or a backpack. A gift card gives them that freedom and confidence.

Wish List & Item Donations
We often post specific needs on our Facebook page, and we keep an updated Amazon Wish List with items ranging from furniture to hats and gloves. These practical donations are another way the community can help support foster families.   Amazon Wish List https://a.co/c8PEFbO
