Friendship Home Partners with Alpha Media, StarTran to Stuff the Bus with $19K in Goods

Friendship Home (friendshiphome.org) once again partnered with Alpha Media and StarTran for the 21st Annual Stuff the Bus with more than $19,000 worth of essential everyday items critical for the more than 1,500 women and children served by the nonprofit every year. The 2020 event went virtual in late July and donations will be crucial to families as they work to rebuild their lives after surviving domestic violence. Sponsors Alpha Media and StarTran partnered to spread the word among their listeners and readers to activate community support and donations.

Despite the challenges that come with COVID-19 restrictions, the Friendship Home is providing 24/7 crisis services for victims of domestic violence, and donations to the cause are in greater need than ever. In this time of social distancing, when most of us are finding comfort and safety at home, for some, home is the most dangerous place on earth. Domestic violence doesn’t stop for COVID and, in fact, may often escalate during times of additional stress.

The Friendship Home exists to support, shelter, and advocate for victims of domestic violence and their children. They provide crisis intervention services, case management, and emotional support to victims. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call their crisis line at (402) 437-9302.
