Who we are
Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer organization of women united by a shared commitment: to assist women and children who are victims of domestic violence.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we dedicate our time and resources to fundraising and service efforts that directly benefit Safe + Sound Somerset, a vital resource for survivors in central New Jersey.
