FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Embrace Grace Celebrates Historic Milestone: More Than 150,000 Love Boxes Delivered to Women Facing Unexpected Pregnancies

Hurst, TX — December 2025 — Embrace Grace, a national nonprofit dedicated to inspiring and equipping the church to support single and pregnant women, has reached a historic milestone in its mission: more than 150,000 Love Boxes distributed to women facing unexpected pregnancies across the United States.

The Love Box was created as a tangible expression of hope—often given to women at pregnancy centers or clinics during one of the most uncertain moments of their lives. Each box includes encouraging messages, personal stories from other moms, and resources that connect women to local Embrace Grace support groups, where they can receive emotional, spiritual, and practical care.

“Every Love Box represents a moment when a woman is reminded that she is not alone,” said Amy Ford, President of Embrace Grace. “Reaching 150,000 Love Boxes means 150,000 women were met with compassion instead of fear, and hope instead of isolation. These boxes are often the first step toward a mom choosing life and discovering a community that will walk with her.”

Women who receive a Love Box frequently describe it as a turning point.

One mother, Brittany, shared how receiving a Love Box impacted her decision and her journey into motherhood:

“When I found out I was pregnant, I was excited but scared because I didn’t have my life all together. When the nurse handed me a Love Box, I was overwhelmed with emotion. The stories, the encouraging words, and even a small onesie that said ‘Best Gift Ever’ made my baby feel real. That box changed everything for me.”

Brittany went on to give birth to her daughter, Sevyn, in March 2024. Her story reflects thousands of others who have found courage, clarity, and support through the Love Box initiative.

Since its founding, Embrace Grace has partnered with thousands of churches nationwide to create welcoming, judgment-free environments for women navigating unplanned pregnancies.

Through weekly support groups, mentorship, and practical resources, Embrace Grace helps ensure women feel seen, supported, and empowered to choose life.

As abortion access has shifted across the country, Embrace Grace leaders say the need for compassionate, tangible support has only increased.

“This milestone is worth celebrating,” Ford added, “but it also reminds us that the need is still great. There are countless women right now facing an unexpected pregnancy who need to know they are loved, valued, and capable. Our prayer is to continue expanding this mission so no woman has to walk this journey alone.”
