The holiday season is a time for warmth, togetherness, and the spirit of giving. While many of us look forward to festive gatherings and the joy of exchanging gifts with loved ones, it’s essential to remember that the holidays can be a difficult time for youth at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness.
The holidays can be a particularly isolating and an emotionally challenging time for young people, as many have experienced unstable home environments and have not had the same opportunities to celebrate. At Covenant House, we are dedicated to making the holiday season special for the youth we serve.
You can help young people create new, positive memories. A gift in kind is a wonderful way to show a young person that they are seen and valued.
If you would like to donate over the holidays, here are the most needed items for youth:
- Gift Cards
- Toiletries:
- Bodywash
- Dental floss
- Deodorant
- Hairbrushes
- Mini hand sanitizers
- Mini shampoo
- Shaving cream — male & female
- Soap
- Razors — male & female
- Tissue packets
- Small Q-Tip packets
- Toothpaste — mini, medium size
- Clothing:
- Men’s T-shirts — medium and up
- Socks — male & female everyday crew (new)
- Winter jackets
- Hoodies M, L, XL, XXL
Together, we can make this holiday season a time of hope and happiness for young people who deserve it the most. Thank you for being a part of our mission to spread love and joy this holiday season.
