Events
Our special events bring together our community, volunteers and team in support of the survivors we serve through our crisis services, emergency shelter and transitional housing.
Whether you join us to raise funds or collect supplies, our goal is the same: to empower freedom from domestic violence.
Together we can help survivors find the physical and emotional safety they need to rebuild their lives.
Illuminate: Hope Shines Here
Friendship Home cannot wait to have you join us for the second annual Illuminate: Hope Shines Here – a night where purpose shines brighter than anything else. More than just a fundraising event, Illuminate is a heartfelt gathering dedicated to hope, healing, and the unwavering support of survivors of domestic violence.
This event has replaced the long-standing Safe Quarters. For years, Safe Quarters has brought our community together, standing with survivors, knocking on doors, and bringing our mission to the doorsteps of Lincoln households. We are excited to continue spreading our mission through Illuminate, a newer tradition that continues our shared commitment in an inspiring and deeply impactful way. This elegant night, decked out in purple, will be an evening to gather, reflect, and act, because no one should have to walk the path to safety alone.
Stay tuned for more details on how to purchase your ticket for this year’s Illuminate, happening Thursday, October 22nd.
