ORANGE, NJ — On May 10, 2025, Embrace Relief joined Orange City Township’s 2nd Annual Community Baby Shower to support expecting mothers facing financial hardship. As one of 15 vendors at the event, Embrace Relief proudly distributed 250 gift bags filled with essential baby items to local families in need.

Held under sunny skies and surrounded by smiles and laughter, the event brought the community together to uplift and empower new and expecting mothers. Embrace Relief’s gift bags included diapers, wipes, baby bottles, toys, playpens, baby monitors, healthcare kits, and nursing and breastfeeding supplies—everything needed to help families welcome their newborns with love, dignity, and care.

“Every mother deserves to feel supported during one of life’s most beautiful transitions,” said Kevin Meacham, Embrace USA Program Coordinator. “We’re honored to help bridge the gap for families in New Jersey who are struggling to afford the basic necessities their babies deserve.”

The event was a powerful reminder of the impact of community collaboration. Embrace Relief remains committed to supporting vulnerable populations by providing critical aid and compassionate care—locally and around the world.

Since its founding in 2008, Embrace Relief has built a global network of partnerships allowing us to provide critical humanitarian aid to vulnerable families and communities worldwide, including in the United States.

Launched in January 2025, Embrace USA is an initiative that brings this global approach home. Through this program, we are building and strengthening local partnerships to deliver essential resources — such as food distributions, clothing and school supply drives, and disaster response — and relief to U.S. families in need.
