Friends of the Cottage

Friends of The Cottage are individuals, clubs, and community groups who choose to invest in the ongoing care and support we provide. By committing to a monthly or annual gift, you help ensure that survivors and their families continue to receive no‑cost services from trained, compassionate advocates.

As a Friend, you become part of a community dedicated to safety, support, and healing. You’ll receive updates about our work, invitations to special events, and recognition throughout the year across The Cottage’s materials, website, and social media.

Giving levels offer different ways to stay connected, with additional opportunities for engagement and recognition at select levels.
