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.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

From October 1–31, you can create your own fundraising page and rally your friends, family, and colleagues to empower freedom from domestic violence, all from the comfort of your own home!

By participating in this online campaign, you can make a real difference, providing safe shelter and essential resources for those rebuilding their lives. Our goal is to raise $15,000, and every page, every donation, and every voice brings us closer to achieving it. Join us in standing with survivors, because together, we can give hope, safety, and a brighter future.

Illuminate: Hope Shines Here

Friendship Home invites you to Illuminate – a night where purpose shines brighter than anything else. More than just a gala, Illuminate is a heartfelt gathering dedicated to hope, healing, and the unwavering support of survivors of domestic violence.

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. This year, we turn the page and introduce Illuminate, a new 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.
