Children in foster care may live with relatives, unrelated foster parents or in group homes, residential care facilities, emergency shelters, and supervised independent living. These children and youth are best supported through a continuum of care that provides ongoing services from entry to exit. The following resources provide insight on the various ways Embrace Florida Kids seeks to provide a proper continuum of care.
Aside from typical financial giving such as a check or making an online contribution, we also appreciate gifts through Facebook Birthday fundraisers as well as in honor or memory of a loved one.
Volunteer opportunities are limited due to sensitivity, privacy and safety issues. We do have many community advocates and supporters in our schools and churches; who raise funds, collect necessary donations (for our foster families and our teens) provide tutoring, fellowship and social opportunities, and more. Contact us for volunteer opportunities.
We’d love the opportunity to share our story and talk with civic clubs, church groups and other organizations on how to become a foster parent, volunteer or donate. Contact us to have someone speak to your group. Contact us for speaking opportunities.
