Embrace Oregon
May is Foster Care Awareness Month, and we are excited to shine a spotlight on a local organization doing great work on this issue. Founded in 2013, Embrace Oregon works in partnership with the Department of Human Services (DHS), to provide support and resources to vulnerable families (to prevent children from entering the foster system), to children in the foster system, and those on the front lines- DHS staff.
There are many ways–beyond fostering or adopting a child–to offer love and support to the 8700 children (and their families, and service providers) currently in Oregon's foster system.
