Events

The best ideas to raise funds and collect essential items needed by families we serve come from generous individuals just like you!

Whether a small or large event collecting new items, jeans day at your workplace, an online Facebook campaign, golf tournament or other creative event idea, our Development team would like to support your initiative.

We can help provide the awareness and marketing tools you need. Do you have a great idea to help survivors of domestic violence? Contact Emelia by email or call 402.470.1106.

Stuff the Bus

Stuff the Bus is a two-day event held in the spring each year. This event helps raise awareness about domestic violence and is an opportunity for community members to provide needed items for families served by Friendship Home.

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.

Each year in October, 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 and is held each Fall! 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.
