Your Gift Makes a Difference by Providing:
Safe Shelter
After sleeping on the streets, facing awful risks and dangers, homeless youth need safe shelter and a bed to call their own. Your gift can give them that.
Nourishing Meals
All too often, homeless young people are forced to go without food for days at a time — or eat food that’s unsafe. Your support ensures they have healthy meals every single day.
Urgent Health Care
Due to illness, injury, or malnutrition, youth struggling on the streets need access to medical care. Our onsite health centers help young people with urgent health needs as well as chronic illnesses.
Hope and Opportunity
As an angel to homeless youth, you’re providing the hope these young people dreamed they’d find — and every opportunity to create success in their future.
Spread the Word
Help us spread the word for our second annual Be an Angel Day on August 22. Let your friends and family know about Be an Angel Day so they can join this celebration of kindness, care, and support for others.

Send a Message of Hope
Angels are messengers! You have the power to Be an Angel for a young person in our care by sending them a note of encouragement. Be an Angel Day is about how a small act of compassion can brighten someone’s day. For the amazing kids at Covenant House, your note can lift their spirits. And when you lift them up, they can soar. Show a young person they have your support and love as a member of the Cov family.

Meet Our Youth
Covenant House, through the help of our supporters, provides youth with a safe space to call home, which is essential in their journey toward stability.
I would say most likely I’d be on the streets. ... But thank God, I found Covenant House. ... There’s still hope, there’s still miracles in this world.
Marbin
When I walk into Covenant House, I feel like I can be free, and I can be me. I never really had that type of support.
