Face to Face Page | Covenant House

You may see our teams out on the street, in front of your local shops, or knocking door to door in your neighborhood. We have three partners supporting this work: GiveBridge, DV Canvass, and Personal Fundraising Services. Each canvasser will have a city permit (where required) and a badge identifying them as a Covenant House approved canvasser.

Our sustaining donors give on an automated recurring basis to ensure we have reliable funds to save the lives of more than a million homeless, runaway and trafficked young people.

Covenant House is always seeking new monthly donors to join our community. Our face-to-face fundraising partners accept donations on the spot through tablets. This is a convenient and secure mobile giving method that helps us receive your urgently needed contribution as soon as possible. These tablets accept both credit card and bank donations and help reduce administrative costs; our representatives never accept cash. Fundraisers can be identified by their bright yellow vest with the Covenant House logo. If you meet one of our representatives, please feel free to say hello and inquire about the device and our programs.
