ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED: Embrace Clinic and Care Center Volunteer Coordinator: Peggy
DESCRIPTION: Embrace is a community pregnancy center that provides prenatal care as well as diapers, formula, clothing, etc once the baby is born. They have expanded over the last couple years and now have the ability to do ultrasounds. They also have a new dad program. They provide pregnancy counseling and help anyone no matter their economic status. While they are not a Catholic charity, they do affiliate closely to the local Catholic parish's.
CONTACT PERSON: Zella
TYPE OF CARDS REQUESTED: They accept all cards for both men and women (scripture verses are fine). They can use baby, birthday, thinking of you, sympathy, and blank cards....they have a big need for Thank You cards as many in the community give donations of clothing, etc and they like to thank them personally. SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS: Envelopes are appreciated but not required. They do mail their cards so please keep that in mind when it comes to layers and/or embellishments.
GUIDELINES: Please keep in mind, we are representing SCS by sending our cards each month. Recycling is always good, but only use products on your cards that you would like to receive on cards. Also, our card donations are not tax deductible and it is not required. Please do not ask for a receipt. There have been groups that will send thank you's but the "referred by" person keeps us informed and passes on the thank you's. Most of these organizations are volunteers and spend countless hours helping others, let's help make their jobs easier and bless them in helping others.
MAILING ADDRESS: Please mail cards to...Embrace Clinic and Care Center 180 1st St NW Barberton, OH 44203 Attn: Peggy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For a little added inspiration you can join us in playing along with the OPTIONAL challenge each month. This is only optional and you do not have to play along to send your cards to the featured cause for the month. We always take cards no matter if you play along in the challenge or not.
This months challenge is to be inspired Father's Day since we celebrate Dads in June.

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a great month so far. It's hard to believe we are already 1/3 through June...time flies anymore. Wasn't Christmas just last week? LOL!! I'm working on getting some new causes for us....does anyone have a cause that is near and dear to their heart? Even if you don't have a location - if something really touches you such as animals or children or homeless...you get the idea. Let me know so we can spread our talents around the country and touch the lives of more and more people! You all are such a wonderful group and I'm honored to be part of this community.

Good evening everyone! Just wanted to let you know that Peggy from Embrace contacted me this week and said cards are rolling in....she was super excited! Thank you for all you do!!!! Have a very blessed evening and fantastic weekend!!!!
I hope you're all having a fantastic month!! Thank you all so much for your continued support in this group...it just wouldn't be the same without each one of you!!
The last couple weeks have been a bit crazy for me personally. My hubby had his knee replacement surgery June 6th - he's doing great! One of our furbabies didn't do well with the changes due to that and stopped eating...so that meant a trip to the vet as well as xrays and bloodwork. She's eating again but we did find out that she is in the beginning stages of kidney disease. And then this week our neighborhood flooded. We couldn't leave the house for 2 days - and can you believe it we saw fish in our street! LOL!! Our sump pump couldn't keep up and we had 4 feet of water in our basement....cleanup begins today. Glad my craft room wasn't in the basement! LOL!!
I hope you all have a very blessed weekend!! I'm super excited about our July cause....here's a hint: "Christmas in July"
Sending out 30 cards from my stash.
Zella, I would say your "bit of crazy" is more like the motherlode of crazy. Hope your hubby has a speedy recovery. Sorry to read about your furbaby. We love our furbabies!!! And your flooding....awful! I hope you dry out fast.
As luck would have it, I gathered my holiday supplies a couple of weeks ago. With the weather heating up, I am looking forward to working on cards with a cool, if not cold, theme. Thank you for the heads up, Zella!
Hi everyone! I'm going to post this in the July thread too but wanted to make sure I posted it here. I received this note today:
Zella,
I waited until today to make sure I had all the cards accounted for. Even this morning, I received an envelope. You will not believe the number we received. 1406! This is amazing and extremely generous of the stampers. Thank you for again promoting us! We won't be in want for a card for any occasion. :0) I sent thank yous to each donor, but unfortunately, there are two people who won't receive one. One was returned as undeliverable, but looks like I had the right address- not sure why it was returned. And one more had extra tape placed on it by the post office, and removing the tape also removed the return address. I'd hate for someone to think their donation was not received or appreciated. Please tell the group that we are blessed beyond belief!
