Covenant House Michigan

Confidence, skills, and community support. 🎤 Michelle Dunaway, host of FOX 17 Morning Mix, along with Savoix, generously developed and taught a four-week class for the youth at Covenant House Grand Rapids.

Their time, encouragement, and expertise created a meaningful experience that empowered our young people to build confidence, develop new skills, and feel supported by their community.

We are deeply grateful for their compassion and commitment to investing in the future of our youth.

Congratulations to Bella, Rob, and Keyla, our Covenant House Michigan interns who recently graduated from Wayne State University.

Bella served on our fund development team, while Rob and Keyla were on our programs team. Each of them brought energy, compassion, and dedication to our youth and our mission.

We are so proud of you. Thank you for your service, and best of luck in what comes next.

New tables and chairs for a fresh start. 🪑🍽️ Thanks to a generous capacity grant from Forgotten Harvest, Covenant House Michigan was able to purchase new tables and chairs for our dining hall.

Creating a clean, comfortable environment for our young people is part of removing the barriers of food insecurity. When our youth have a welcoming space to share a meal, they can focus on what matters: achieving their goals, reaching for their dreams, and building their own independence.

Thank you, Forgotten Harvest, for helping us make our house feel more like home.

Our Photo Booth at A Night of Detroit Stars was full of smiles, sequins, and serious star power. Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out for our youth.

The night was unforgettable. From the cocktail reception and strolling dinner to the breathtaking performances by our incredible lineup of Detroit artists, the Sound Board Theater was buzzing with energy and heart.

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, performers, volunteers, and everyone who purchased tickets or secured a sponsorship. Your support directly benefits youth overcoming homelessness in Detroit and Grand Rapids. And a special shoutout to .royalty.rentals for the amazing photo booth experience!

A generous donation that makes a real difference. 🍽️❤️

Recently, Jean and Don visited Covenant House Grand Rapids to generously donate brand new kitchen equipment on behalf of St. James Knights of Columbus. Our team truly enjoyed meeting them and was deeply inspired by their kindness and generosity.

Thank you for helping us create a warmer, more welcoming space for our youth.

Your Exclusive Look Behind the Scenes of A Night of Detroit Stars. 🎬

Before the curtain goes up this Wednesday, our Covenant House staff and volunteers from WTW were hard at work on our Detroit campus getting everything ready. They assembled Keys to the City (our version of a raffle where every key unlocks a surprise), blew up balloons, and gave us a sneak peek of the prizes waiting to be won.

It takes a village to pull off a night like this. We're grateful for every pair of hands helping make it happen. There's still time to join us. Get your tickets now for Wednesday, May 20 at the Sound Board Theater. 🎭🔑

A meaningful Sunday at St. Stephen's Episcopal in Troy, Michigan. 🕯️

Father Gerardo invited our very own Melissa Hardy to speak about how the work of Covenant House Michigan is an expression of faith. The lesson that day was about the Good Shepherd caring for the flock, and we shared our mission of providing love, respect, and support to young adults experiencing homelessness.

The congregation responded with incredible generosity, collecting $3,000 to support our youth. We are deeply grateful to St. Stephen's for walking alongside us in this work.
