“All I ever wanted was a day where women felt safe and inspired by seeing other women play music…This is for the women that have nowhere else to turn other than the safe space of the shelter that Family Services of Forsyth County, NC built and I’m giving you an opportunity to support that…”
-Bryn Hermansen

This shelter is an important resource to our community; one that our founder, Bryn Hermansen, held very dear and fought to support. Although we lost Bryn in 2021, we are honored to carry on her vision.

For the past 9 years, we have focused our efforts on hosting our annual festival, which includes musical performances, a raffle and online art auction. This is where the majority of our funds have been raised, and in 2022 FemFest NC raised over $20,000! We also have partnered with local business owners to host Community Pop-up events, so that we can provide financial support to Family Services and the shelter all year long.
