Sleep Out

The Sleep Out is not about pretending to be homeless. We Sleep Out to show our solidarity with those who are — and to let the world know about the ever-growing population of young people who face homelessness. And there's more to Sleep Out than a night without a mattress. Sleep Out raises critical funds to help Covenant House provide 24/7 shelter, sanctuary, and support to youth overcoming homelessness.

Covenant House Pennsylvania hosts two separate Sleep Out events and we are always looking for individuals, civic or religious organizations, and/or companies that would like to organize a team for one of these events.

 

We also have a do-it-yourself sleep out model for students and just about anyone else wanting to host their own Sleep Out to benefit the youth of Covenant House Pennsylvania.
