Covenant House Michigan is shining a light on youth homelessness in Metro Detroit by hosting its 12th annual Sleep Out event. Aimed at raising awareness and funds for the cause, this year’s event will see participants spending the night outdoors, confronting the harsh realities faced by homeless youth.
The event, which has become a staple in the community, gathers a wide range of supporters, including notable figures such as CEO Meagan Dunn. Participants will not only brave the elements but will also engage with local residents, listening to their stories to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges these young individuals face every day.
“We want to bring attention to these issues and show solidarity with the youth who experience homelessness,” said Dunn. “Each story shared serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need for support and compassion in our community.”
In addition to raising awareness, the Sleep Out serves as a crucial fundraising initiative for Covenant House Michigan, which offers essential services such as shelter, food, and counseling to homeless young people. Donations can be made through the organization’s website, providing ongoing support for their commendable work.
As participants huddle together under the stars, they not only highlight the plight of homeless youth but also motivate others to get involved. By drawing attention to this pressing issue, Covenant House Michigan hopes to inspire a wave of community support, ensuring that every young person has a safe place to call home.
