Today's post is dedicated to the Covenant House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for their awesome work fighting poverty, violence, and human rights violations to youth in the city.
Covenant House is a shelter home that provides services to homeless, at-risk youth. It is the largest private child welfare agency in its area (the Delaware Valley.) Their services include street outreach, education, job placement, legal services, and fighting human trafficking.
The street outreach team at the Covenant House is part of the Pennsylvania Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition. The team conducts training in various communities around the Philadelphia area, as well as working to identify places of trafficking in order to have them shut down.
Over 50 young people seek shelter at the Covenant House each and every night. Their stories are all different, yet the same. They are all searching for someone to show them that they care - to show them unconditional love and support no matter what. That is just what the Covenant House is set out to do.
Their work could not be possible without the financial support of individuals like you and me. If you are interested in more personal ways of donating, the house is always in need of in-kind donations in order to better serve the youth seeking shelter each night. Most importantly, keep the Covenant House and the youth in your thoughts and prayers!
