Dear CHV Family,
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented us with new and evolving challenges as we continue to provide essential services to youth experiencing homelessness.
Minute by minute, hour by hour, we are meeting those challenges with courage, care, and compassion.
Our doors are open, and we continue to provide food, shelter, and medical care to those most in need.
Many of you are asking how you can help. The best way to stand with our young people is by making a gift to support our crisis response — you can do so by clicking here: covenanthousebc.org/donate
I know you are worried about your own family’s health and safety. For the youth at Covenant House, we are their family and we will continue to support their physical and mental health.
COVID-19 will test us. But rest assured the spirit of our youth, staff, and volunteers remains strong. And they know you are standing with them.
Wishing health and safety to you and your loved ones.
With love and respect,
Krista Thompson
CEO, Covenant House Vancouver
