October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Despite the fact that domestic violence is prevalent in every community, and affects all people regardless of age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender, religion, race, or nationality, there remains a unfortunate level of silence around the issue. Domestic Violence Awareness Month raises the voices of survivors and advocates bringing education, resources, change, and hope to survivors, their children and our communities.

Fundraising events are vital to Friendship Home’s success. 33% of Friendship Home’s yearly income is derived from donations and special events, such as Safe Quarters. Hundreds of volunteers walk the community each year asking for funds to support Friendship Home. In 2022, over $85,000 was raised for programs that provide shelter, counseling, crisis services, and other vital programs at Friendship Home.
