About Woman's Friend Society
In 1876, the Woman's Friend Society was founded to inspire and encourage habits of industry and self-reliance in women in Salem, Massachusetts. In the 21st century, as a Charitable Corporation (1884), the Society's mission continues with a focus on providing a transitional living environment for women - for a term of up to five (5) years - who are in school and/or working.
Emmerton House is maintained through rents, donations, membership fees, grants, and the Society's endowment.
