Friendship Home (friendship.org) has once again partnered with StarTran, Alpha Media radio stations, Walmart, and Sam’s Club stores for the 26th annual Stuff the Bus event. Stuff the Bus asks the Lincoln community to help Stuff four StarTran buses full of new items needed by the families staying at Friendship Home. The items donated will stock our shelves for the coming year.
Friendship Home volunteers will be at all Lincoln Walmart and Sam’s Club stores on April 12 and 13 handing out need’s lists to shoppers. Anyone is welcome to pick up a list, choose a few items to purchase, and help ‘stuff the bus’ parked outside the store. Cash donations and gift cards are also accepted. To learn more about this event, please visit friendship.org.
Friendship Home is Lincoln’s only safe, confidential emergency shelter for individuals experiencing domestic violence. Services include emergency and transitional shelter, as well as supportive services through safety planning, crisis intervention, support groups and mental health counseling. To access safe shelter and services, please call the 24/seven Crisis Line at (402) 437-9302 to speak with an advocate. Learn more about their mission at friendship.org.
