Events

Our special events bring together our community, volunteers and team in support of the women and children 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

Safe Quarters is a one-day, community-wide effort to collect financial contributions for survivors of domestic violence and their children seeking refuge at Friendship Home. Safe Quarters also exists to raise awareness of domestic violence in Lincoln and Lancaster County and as well as the resources that are available to assist survivors.

During Safe Quarters, over one hundred teams of dedicated volunteers go door-to-door collecting financial contributions for Friendship Home from houses in the Lincoln and neighboring communities. Volunteers are equipped with collection buckets and informational materials about Friendship Home and domestic violence.

Safe Quarters is Friendship Home’s largest fundraising event of the year! Funds collected provide a safe, confidential shelter, crisis services and ongoing support for families who are rebuilding their lives free from violence. Safe Quarters is vital to Friendship Home’s doors remaining open to those in need.

The support of the entire community is needed for Safe Quarters to be a success. Your participation will help end violence in the lives of victims in our community.

It may even save a life.
