Covenant House Texas

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the Astros Foundation, who gifted our youth with amazing merch this year! From branded backpacks to blankets, it’s sure to be a homerun on Christmas morning. #Astros #holidaygiving

Our friends at Harris Rebuilding Families Foundation and CA Modern Realty spent some quality time with our youth recently as they hosted a holiday arts and crafts day on campus. From the time spent to the gifts, it was truly a perfect reminder of the Christmas spirit. #holidaygiving #volunteer

What a treat for our youth to have Houston Texans players Will Anderson and Christian Harris visit our Beulah campus recently to spread some holiday cheer. With the help of KLUTCH SPORTS GROUP, LLC, our youth received pizza, autographs and a night to remember! #holidaygiveback #Texans

A massive thank-you to our friends over at Chevron Houston for hosting a stocking decorating party! Events like this help bring our youth joy just in time for the holidays. #holidaygiving #volunteer

TONIGHT, we Sleep Out to shed light on the crisis that is youth homelessness across the country and in our community. It isn’t just about the one night our Executive Sleepers spend on the cold concrete, but also the warmth this fundraiser provides for the young people we serve at Covenant House Texas. There’s still time to help our Sleepers meet their fundraising goal by donating today: https://lnkd.in/gbWvM6xK #endyouthhomelessness #SleepOutTx #houstonnonprofit

Tonight is the night! Rain is expected in over half of the 17 cities where Covenant House International will be Sleeping Out tonight.  It is going to be wet!  Last night in Anchorage it was ZERO degrees!  A  harsh reminder of the additional challenges young people face on a daily basis.  How can I stay dry, stay safe, charge my phone, clean up, secure my belongings, find something to eat, afford transportation, and make it on time for my job interview at 9 am?!    A young woman once shared with me her story of barricading herself in a filthy, smelly subway bathroom one rainy night in NY, before an interview the next morning, just so she had access to a sink to be able to get herself ready presentable... and was able to jump a train to the interview.  And she got the job!   The drive, resilience and ingenuity of the young people experiencing homelessness never ceases to amaze me.  Just imagine what they can do with even basic needs being met!  Despite having to see the worst imaginable circumstances experienced by young people on a daily basis, working at Covenant House is a constant source of joy and optimism for me… to get to see so many young people overcome, and to go on to do great things (or even just live independently), when no one in society expects them to succeed.  It is amazing! I cant think of a better investment than the young people who have the chance to do great things, if we just give them the chance! https://lnkd.in/gA7bVAPg

We are ONE DAY AWAY from Sleep Out: Executive Edition 2024! We cannot thank our sponsors and Sleepers enough for their overwhelming support of our youth. We want to highlight some of our supporters who are making Sleep Out possible! Tomorrow night, the hands-on work begins.
