"The kids we serve need advocates, those who will take notice and act on their behalf. We can be a difference-maker in their lives, together." Our President and CEO Blake Horne was recently featured as a guest columnist in The Montgomery Independent discussing the importance of our ministry as we recognize Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.

We found a new home! Embrace Alabama Kids has relocated its ministry headquarters to 923 S. Perry Street, Montgomery, AL, 36104. We are excited for the next chapter of our ministry, and we thank you for supporting us in our efforts to bring homes, healing and hope to Alabama’s children and families. #EmbraceALKids

The Alabama Department of Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention, also known as The Children's Trust Fund, recently held check presentations in Mobile (representing Congressional District 1) and Montgomery (representing Congressional Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5). These presentations highlighted the vital work being conducted by agencies funded through the Children’s Trust Fund, including the Embrace Parent Education and Support Program in Mobile and the Embrace Family Support Program based in Andalusia. Over 85% of Children’s Trust Fund dollars go directly to fund programs that work to prevent child abuse and neglect. This year, consider donating all or part of your State of Alabama tax refund to the Children’s Trust Fund, which supports Embrace Alabama Kids’ Babies First and Family Support Programs. https://ctf.alabama.gov/ #EmbraceALKids
