2021 Sleep Out
2021-11-18
Join the GNO Martinet Legal Society Team for Covenant House’s 10th Anniversary Sleep Out!
The Greater New Orleans Louis A. Martinet Legal Society is giving up our beds for one night.
Sleeping Out helps ensure that youth overcoming homelessness can sleep safely and dream big at Covenant House.
Covenant House is more than just a shelter. Young people are welcomed 24/7 with relentless support, unconditional love, and absolute respect. They are provided with warm meals, educational opportunities, job training & placement, medical & behavioral health care, mental health & substance use counseling, legal aid, life skills, and more… essential services designed to help them transition from homelessness to independence – and realize their unique promise and potential.
In the midst of both a global pandemic and recovery from a major hurricane, Covenant House youth have faced unprecedented challenges, but their resilience has been inspiring. Like so many of us, they have coped with increased anxiety and depression. You can be part of the solution and help them get back on the path to success by making a donation to my Sleep Out.
