About
Embrace started even before its name was defined. Bettina, our founder, felt she needed to give back to a community that has 'embraced' her since she came from Germany. Seeing the challenges that people face, whether depression, sickness, or poverty, Bettina began stepping out to make a difference. She decided to host some initial meetings with caring friends in the community to discuss local needs and how they could make a difference.
After sharing her vision with friends, who immediately supported her vision and the project, they came up with a name and mission statement.
​
In the beginning, it was mostly small community events in which we raised funds, provided clothing, and food for our local families who were facing hardship. Eventually, more people volunteered their time with Embrace, and our dream became reality.
Today, we help a great number of families along 192, in Kissimmee, Florida, and we also support other entities with seasonal help, like 'back to school' initiatives, housing projects, and major food initiatives to provide for those less fortunate and put our best foot forward.
