Embrace Washington

Thank You! 💚

To the incredible foster moms who attended, the generous donors and sponsors who made this retreat possible, and the amazing volunteers who served behind the scenes, thank you.

Because of you, the 2026 Embrace Washington Foster Mom Retreat was filled with connection, encouragement, and renewal. We are grateful for each of you.

Kelly and DeAnn were amazing volunteers this week, helping us with several projects, including organizing Welcome Boxes for children entering foster care. These boxes provide a little comfort to kids as they deal with their world turning upside down. If you'd like to get involved, send us a message here or learn more at our website https://www.embracewa.org/

Life Center

Yesterday, local Safelite employees delivered 30 bikes for children in foster care, just in time for summer fun! We can't thank them enough for using their team building opportunities to assemble bikes again this year! Both Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families & Sally's House (The Salvation Army Spokane) will receive these bikes to distribute to kids who need them.

Our volunteers yesterday packed 62 Welcome Bags for the Foster Mom Retreat this weekend! Thank you so much!

Every month, Carol brings us quilts that have been hand made by her and her friends. These quilts are given to typically children in foster care. This spectacular patriotic quilt will be raffled at our upcoming Foster Mom Retreat, where moms will get some respite and gain a community of friends 🥰 Thank you Carol ❤️🤍💙

We are incredibly happy to officially be in our new office! We're still getting settled in, but we're hoping to be able to show the place off with a ribbon cutting sometime this summer. Thank you again to all our volunteers who helped us 💚
