Ending youth homelessness as we know it.
Be an Angel for Homeless Youth: Your gift is matched!
For any young person, life on the streets can be terrifying. Hungry, scared and lost, they just need someone to care.
Today, you can be that someone.
When you give today, your support will be doubled to provide young people with a safe place to call home, offering shelter, acceptance, and unconditional love through the Cov Community.
Don't wait, be an angel for homeless youth today.
Your Gift Makes a Difference by Providing:
Safe Shelter
After a life sleeping on the streets, facing awful risks and dangers, your gift provides homeless youth with safe shelter and a bed to call their own.
Nourishing Meals
All too often, homeless youth are forced to go without food for days at a time — or eat meals with no nutritional value. You’ll provide them with healthy meals every single day.
Urgent Health Care
Due to poor nutrition, illness or injury, it is critical homeless youth have access to medical care. Our on-site health centers help young people with urgent health needs and support for chronic illnesses.
Hope and Opportunity
As an angel to homeless youth, you’re providing the hope they thought they’d never find — and every opportunity to create successes for their futures.
Spread the Word
As a valued member of our Cov Community, we are asking you to help us spread the word for our inaugural Be an Angel Day on August 22, a national celebration of kindness, care and support for others. Make sure your friends and family know about Be an Angel Day.

Beyond Shelter
Covenant House, through the help of our supporters, provides youth with a safe space to call home, which is essential in their journey towards stability.
Covenant House, they really provided me everything I needed, shelter, a place for me to rest and come back to.
Elijah
It really keeps me motivated being around other youth who have a similar background and even staff who came from a hard background. Being around others who have gone through difficult things like I have has inspired me to aim higher in my own life.
Oscar
When I arrived [at Covenant House], I could feel the love - that is what drew me in and that is what made me stay. I could feel right away that it was a place of order, and that is what I needed the most and, in fact, I learned that is what I thrive on.
