<p>Whenever a young person comes to <a href="https://www.covenanthouse.org">Covenant House</a> for help, their goal is to help them move from instability to independent living. For many youth in their programs, that means supporting them in the <a href="https://www.covenanthouse.org/homeless-issues/affordable-housing">search for housing</a>. Moving residents into <a href="https://www.covenanthouse.org/our-work/affordable-housing">affordable housing</a> they’ve worked, saved, and fought for, is one of the most joyous moments experienced at Covenant House. For young people who have lived through so much upheaval, the chance to settle into a space that’s truly theirs comes as a huge relief.</p>
<p>At <a href="https://www.mybobs.com">Bob’s Discount Furniture</a>, we believe that everyone deserves a home – a home they love, we know how important that is for the youth supported by Covenant House.</p>

<p>We are grateful to our guests who contributed to our Café Collections for a Cause program to benefit Covenant House this past fall. Through their generous donations and a dollar-for-dollar match from Bob’s, we’re proud to contribute $48,200 to Covenant House, which will help keep their doors open for youth 24/7. The donation was presented at the grand opening of our new Bob’s store in Long Island City, NY, just a few miles from Covenant House’s <a href="https://www.covenanthouse.org/homeless-shelters/new-york">shelter in Manhattan</a>.</p>
<p>“We are incredibly grateful for our growing partnership with Bob’s Discount Furniture in providing safety, stability, and opportunity for young people overcoming homelessness. Support from the Bob’s community helps create spaces where our youth can heal, grow, and feel truly at home. We deeply appreciate their dedication to our young people and the meaningful impact they make every day, said Tod Monaghan, SVP Key Partnerships, Covenant House International </p>
<p>“Partnering with Covenant House is deeply meaningful to all of us at Bob’s,” says Lindsay Ruszczyk, Director of Community Outreach. “Their work to provide safety, stability, and hope for young people facing homelessness aligns with our belief that every individual deserves dignity and a place to call home.</p>
<p>“Through our Café Collections for a Cause program, we are proud to make a substantial donation to Covenant House during our Long Island City Grand Opening, and even more honored to do so during <a href="https://covenanthouse.org/awareness">Youth Homelessness Awareness Month</a>. This initiative allows our customers to join us in supporting organizations that make a real difference, and Covenant House is a powerful example of that impact.” </p>

</div>
<p>In addition to contributing funds, Bob’s is honored to support Covenant House youth through in-kind donations as well. Last year, we donated 19 beds to furnish a new <a href="https://www.covenanthouse.org/our-work/homeless-youth-programs/transitional-housing">transitional housing program</a> in Chicago. Volunteers from Bob’s came to set up the beds and welcome youth to their new living space. Together, Covenant House and Bob’s are creating spaces where young people can truly feel at home.</p>
<p>Bob’s has partnered with Covenant House since 2023 and has exceeded $100,000 in contributions.<br><br><em>Check presentation photo caption: Tod Monaghan, SVP, Key Partnerships Covenant House International (left, holding check) accepted the donation from K.C.

<p>Thanks to the generous contributions of our guests and a match from Bob’s, $60,000 was donated to Covenant House, helping to support thousands of unhoused youth nationwide.</p>
<p>During the summer months, Bob’s collected donations in all store cafés coast to coast to support Covenant House. Bob’s matched every donation made in our on-the-house cafés, dollar-for-dollar.</p>

<p>This November, at the start of Youth Homelessness Awareness Month, Bob’s employees visited Covenant House New York to present the donation and serve lunch to more than 100 young people residing at the facility. In addition to serving nutritious meals to residents, the Bob’s team was able to host a candy station from a store café as a special treat.</p>

<p>Touring the facility, the Bob’s team learned that 1,500 unduplicated youth are served by Covenant House New York annually. With an employment-focused program, Covenant House offers youth under the age of 21, shelter, medical services, meals, mental health support, legal support, education, and employment training. Covenant House is open 24/7, 365 days of the year and operates in 34 cities across 5 countries.</p>
<p>Tod Monaghan, Senior Vice President of Key Partnerships has been with Covenant House New York for more than 20 years first beginning as a social worker. Monaghan said the youth in New York mostly come from the five boroughs, but a small percentage come from all over America and foreign countries. Youth come to Covenant House for a variety of different reasons, but no youth is turned away from services, explained Monaghan.</p>
<p>“Covenant House is grateful for the support of the Bob’s community ,” said Covenant House President & CEO Bill Bedrossian.</p>
<p>“It is partnerships like this, and creative campaigns like Café for a Cause, that enable us to not only continue providing meals, safe beds, medical care, and all the immediate needs for our young people but also enables us to lift up our young people as they work so hard pursuing their goals and dreams. We are grateful to Bob’s for recognizing the great promise of our young people and joining with them on their individual journeys,” said Bedrossian.</p>
<p>At least 4.2 million young people experience homelessness every year in the U.S. alone. With absolute respect and unconditional love, Covenant House works tirelessly to achieve a world where every young person and young family can find safe, permanent housing.</p>
<p>“It was an honor to visit Covenant House New York to experience the programming and care offered to residents,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Communications and Community Outreach Director. “Thanks to the generosity of our guests, we can support Covenant House facilities across America, ensuring unhoused youth can obtain access to shelter and a goodnight sleep, which is crucial for successful outcomes.”</p>

<p>Bob’s is committed to supporting nonprofits in our communities and that’s why we’re excited to introduce the <a href="https://www.covenanthouse.org">Covenant House</a> as our new Café Collections for a Cause partner.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://blog.mybobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/CHI-Youth-Photo-12-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-6497" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/CHI-Youth-Photo-12-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/CHI-Youth-Photo-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/CHI-Youth-Photo-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/CHI-Youth-Photo-12-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/CHI-Youth-Photo-12-1168x779.jpg 1168w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>All the money donated from July 1 to September 30 in our 166 Cafés coast to coast and online, will be presented to the Covenant House.</p>
<p>Bob’s provides a dollar-for-dollar match up to $75,000, so the more you give, the more we give! Find your closest Bob’s <a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/stores">location</a> to stop in, have a free treat on us in the Café, and donate to support the Covenant House. You can also donate online <a href="Page%20Link:%20https:/www.covenanthousediy.org/campaign/Bobs-Discount-Furniture">here</a>.</p>
<p>At least 4.2 million young people experience homelessness every year in the U.S. alone. With absolute respect and unconditional love, Covenant House and its champions work tirelessly to achieve a world where every young person and young family can find safe, permanent housing.</p>
<p>“Covenant House is so grateful for this exciting new Cafe for a Cause partnership with Bob’s,” said Covenant House President & CEO Bill Bedrossian.</p>
<p>“The funds raised will be used for nutritious meals, safe beds, medical care, and all the practical, immediate needs of our young people. But what this campaign also provides is an open door to real opportunities for young people experiencing homelessness. It is partnerships like this that lift up our young people as they work so hard pursuing their goals and dreams. We are so grateful to Bob’s for recognizing the great promise of our young people and joining with them on their individual journeys,” Bedrossian added.</p>
<p>Founded in 1972 in New York City, Covenant House now provides services in 34 cities across five countries, offering more than 2,000 young people a place to sleep each night. No one is ever turned away without support of some kind. Services and programs are available at no cost.</p>

<p>The Café Collection for a Cause partnership with Bob’s will raise funds that will impact Covenant House’s programs like temporary housing, physical and mental healthcare, meal service, transitional housing, and long-term support for patrons.</p>
<p>“Partnering with an organization like the Covenant House is a perfect match for Bob’s,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Communications and Community Outreach Director. “We know access to shelter and a goodnight sleep are crucial for child development and successful outcomes for unhoused individuals. Bob’s is honored to launch this fundraising campaign with the Covenant House and offer our guests this giving opportunity.”</p>
