Learn how each dollar you raise for Sleep Out will benefit Covenant House and youth facing homelessness during the COVID-19 emergency.
$20: Our Covenant House staff are on the front lines keeping our young people safe during this unprecedented crisis. We need to keep staff healthy so they can continue their quietly heroic work with our kids. A $20 gift now will provide a box of masks or gloves for our teams working with sick/symptomatic youth.
$30: Our beds are full, and we are setting up cots for all the kids who have no place to go during this coronavirus emergency. We are taking every precaution to keep our young people safe and protected. Your gift of $30 now will provide a box of linens so all our beds can stay germ-free.
$50: Many of the young people in our care were getting meals at the high schools and colleges they were attending. With all schools closed, Covenant House must fill this enormous gap. Your gift now of $50 will provide nutritious food to five young people in our care for an entire day.
$100: The coronavirus crisis has drastically increased our need for medical supplies. Your gift of $100 today will provide two days of emergency medical supplies for our healthcare teams who are working tirelessly to care for young people who have no one else.
$250: At the same time that our shelters are filled to capacity during the coronavirus crisis, we need to set up safe isolation places for sick/symptomatic youth in our care. Your $250 gift today will provide two clean, safe isolation places for our kids.
$500: All across the Americas, formerly homeless youth have worked hard work to achieve independence. Many have now lost their jobs due to the coronavirus outbreak. Your $500 gift today will provide 10 food baskets to help youth through these unprecedented times.
$1,000: Our front line staff is working 12-hour shifts, many of them six days a week, during this crisis. With great spirit and unconditional love, they risk their own health to protect our kids and surround them with support in uncertain times. With a $1,000 gift today, you can stand with our quiet heroes in spirit and provide one week of emergency personnel costs.
$2,000: Our beds are full. We are using cots to transform former office space into quarantine areas. With a gift of $2,000, you can designate a specific Covenant House city where your support will be used to create a quarantine section of cots and new linens, a place of safety and comfort in this time of great unknowing for our youth.
$5,000: With so many more young people at Covenant House, our food supplies are being stretched to the limit. Choose a specific Covenant House city you would like to support, and your $5,000 gift will provide extra food for that program in April and May. With high schools and colleges closed, your gift will be a lifeline for young people with no place else to go but Covenant House for warm, nutritious meals during this crisis.
$10,000: All across the Americas there are Covenant House alumni -- amazing, resilient, funny, creative young people who took advantage of every opportunity at Covenant House and are now living happy, independent lives. Many of our alumni work in the service and transportation industries, and the coronavirus crisis has hit them hard. Some have told us they have lost their jobs and have no family to help them through this crisis. If you can donate $10,000, you will help us provide grocery baskets in April and May to our alumni who are hurting right now. They need us -- they need family -- now more than ever.
$20,000: These are unprecedented times for all of us. At Covenant House, across 31 cities, all our 2,342 beds and apartments are full. We’re serving hundreds more meals a week now that schools have closed. And at the same time, we need to set up safe quarantine spaces at all our sites. With a gift of $20,000, you will be the leader in our effort to provide all of our Covenant House programs in the United States with the equipment and supplies we need to create quarantine areas.
