Lakers are coming together to give up our beds for one night. 

Details for Medford Lakes Sleep Out below!

The Sleep Out helps ensure that youth facing homelessness can sleep safely and dream big at Covenant House.

Covenant House is more than just a shelter. Young people are welcomed with unconditional love and provided warm meals, education opportunities, job training, medical care, mental health and substance use counseling, and legal aid — essential services designed to help them build independent futures. 

You can be part of the solution for youth overcoming homelessness by making a donation to our Sleep Out team or by joining our team.

Join us at Brooks Field on Saturday, April 27th at 6:00 PM. After an evening together including information about youth facing homelessness, recognition of fundraising efforts, and service projects, we will then be sleeping OUTSIDE on the tennis courts with no shelter. You are welcome to bring a sleeping bag, yoga mat, cardboard, or trash bag. We will have a handful of homemade sleeping mats available for use.

Please consider bringing the following items that we will be collecting for a local shelter: socks, unopened toothbrush + toothpaste, individual packaged snacks (PB crackers, applesauce, granola bar, etc), mints, chapstick, single-dose/use first-aid kit items.
