Strong families build brighter futures. 💙

Our annual awards celebration was a special time to celebrate the incredible children, youth and families of Embrace Alabama Kids and Embrace Florida Kids. From accomplishments big and small to the growth, perseverance and joy we see throughout the year, every one of our kids has a story worth celebrating. 💙

We were grateful to be joined by dedicated staff, families and supporters who continue to surround our children and youth with love, encouragement and opportunities to thrive.

We are so proud of each child and young person and thankful for everyone who helps make homes, healing and hope possible across Alabama and Northwest Florida. 💚

Embrace Mission Trip Day Four ~

On the final day of our trips each summer, we have a tradition of giving out awards to commemorate special moments and highlight every person in our group. It’s always a favorite time of the trip. We focus on how our group has laughed over shared experiences; bonded over similarities; and formed unique friendships across programs from all over Alabama and Northwest Florida. This year was no exception. We had the best time awarding each person for the special spark, laughter and fun they brought to the group this week.

We also found time the last day for Kona Ice; trampolines; seafood feasts; and even more beach and pool fun. Myrtle Beach was very good to us!

We want to thank everyone who supports our ministry and allows us to provide these opportunities to our staff and kids. These trips are so special to us all! Until the next one … 💚💙
