Why we care…

Over 80% of our funding comes from the community, including donors like you. You choosing to care about the youth we serve.

“The support was always there, and it was always without question. And that’s what I want the donors to hopefully understand — that they’re not only providing the funds for a roof over people’s heads and the basic needs that everyone has, but they’re creating a space where something even more important can happen — connection.”

“We all have exactly the same amount of time every single day. It’s how we choose to use that time. […] always to keep in mind when that other duty is done, can you now make the time to volunteer? Because it is all a choice of how you use your time. And I have the time, so I do it.”

“Covenant House Vancouver’s approach to addressing youth homelessness is both unique and comprehensive. Learning about their work opened my eyes to the reality that many people my own age lack the basic life skills and foundational support so many of us take for granted. Living on the street is incredibly tough, but trying to rebuild your life and learn new skills in that environment is even tougher.”

CHV BOARD MEMBER, MATCH DONOR, AND MEMBER OF THE MUNFORD FAMILY FOUNDATION

“Having been involved with Covenant House Vancouver for a decade, my belief in their work has only grown stronger. I’ve watched vulnerable young people move from crisis to independence, because this team never gives up on them. I’m proud to contribute to such a dedicated, passionate group of professionals and the impact they are having on our community.”

“Motivated to support youth who are living on the streets of Vancouver, we organized a virtual Sleep Out for our school community, recognizing the hardships faced by these youth, acknowledging the transformative efforts CHV has made to support them, and looking forwards at the work we all still need to do to completely eradicate youth homelessness.”

“When I had entered Covenant House, I knew that it meant my room was secure. The people I lived with were trustworthy. There was always food, and it was nutritional food. And there was community. I had made so many friends. I'll never forget that all these experiences that are linked to one central setting — Covenant House.”

“I think what impacted me the most was that knowing that anyone in my class or in my school could be suffering from this [hidden homelessness].  
It could be your classmate, your friend that's sitting next to you, it could be genuinely anyone. I realize that it kind of hit me a little bit.”

“When you're in a crisis situation, it's difficult to look beyond the moment, your next meal, being safe.  
Covenant House provides that safety net and ability to have youth not worry and allows them to think and plan for 
their futures.”

Sheldon

CHV ALUMNUS AND DONOR

“I care because it's home 
for me. I was one of the first few youth in the program. 
And now I want to be able to share that experience again over and with other 
youth that are coming into 
the program.” 

Jennifer

CHV VOLUNTEER

“I care because it takes a community really to have our our human race. We need to be there for each other. We need to help each other, and we need to also be able to ask for help when it's needed.” 

Andrew

CHV ADVOCATE AND DONOR

“I realized that young people who didn’t get adopted, like I did, aged out of foster care. Many became homeless and at risk. I knew I wanted to do something to help them.” 

Steven Chambers Foundation

CHV DONOR AND MATCH PARTNER

“The Steven Chambers Foundation is proud to support Covenant House in its quest to lift the youth that need hope and understanding to turn their lives into a better future. Our youth are our future and a future with hope is a future worth striving for.”

“This is truly a place deserving of support.” 

Kaito

CHV ADVOCATE AND DONOR

“I just really wanted to help those people, struggling with homelessness. Imagine that very hot or cold weather and you don't have a bed to sleep on and there's no roof. And I just put myself into their shoes.  
I feel like I can do something for them and would like to see them to be successful in the future.” 

Manat

CHV STUDENT ADVOCATE

“I want to be someone who helps make a difference, even if it’s in a small way. I believe everyone deserves to feel safe, cared for, and supported, and I really want to continue being part of a cause that gives young people hope and a chance at a better future.”
