The Womans Friend Society

The Woman’s Friend Society has been a positive and often pioneering force in the charitable life of Salem, Massachusetts, since the society’s founding in 1876. Through Emmerton House, providing affordable housing for women, and the outreach work of its committees, the Woman’s Friend Society continues to contribute actively to the Salem community. We have many volunteer opportunities throughout the year including Residence Office volunteering, applicant interviews, event planning and working, garden work, decorating, and many other types of work for all ages!
