Friendship Home (www.friendshiphome.org) is delighted to announce that registration for the 21st Annual Safe Quarters Fundraiser has opened! On Sunday, October 8, over one-thousand Friendship Home volunteers will head out to Lincoln and surrounding neighborhoods for the 21st Annual Safe Quarters. By registering, you can help them reach their goal of knocking on every household door in Lincoln and surrounding area communities to collect financial contributions for survivors of domestic violence and raise awareness of the life-saving services they provide. Safe Quarters is Friendship Home’s largest annual fundraiser. In 2022, over $90,000 was raised, and, as a result, Friendship Home was able to serve over 1,500 survivors of domestic violence.
Teams of volunteers are needed to walk Lincoln neighborhoods. A team generally consists of 8-15 members and all ages are encouraged to participate. Volunteers will receive t-shirts and collection buckets for the drive. You can help provide “safe quarters” to someone in crisis during this annual event.
