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.

Safe Quarters

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, offering us a designated time to reflect, remember, and uplift the voices of survivors who have faced or are facing intimate partner violence.

Each October, Friendship Home hosts Safe Quarters, a community-driven event designed to support survivors of domestic violence and their children who seek refuge at Friendship Home. Safe Quarters registration will be open in July 2025.

Stuff the Bus

Stuff the Bus

We are so grateful to our partners, volunteers, and community members for making this year’s Stuff the Bus event a success! Volunteers were stationed outside all Lincoln Walmart and Sam’s Club locations on Saturday, April 20, and Sunday, April 21, passing out needs lists to shoppers. The community successfully STUFFED four StarTran buses, filling them full of highly-needed items for Friendship Home residents. Items raised throughout the event will help maintain over 30 facilities at Friendship Home!

For 25 years, Stuff the Bus has been a vital event for Friendship Home, supplying our shelves with highly needed items for families staying in one of our shelters. Thanks to our partners at StarTran and Alpha Media, community members can easily provide items to Friendship Home by simply grabbing a needs list from a volunteer and adding a few extra items to their shopping cart.
