Youth and Seniors- A Growing Bond
Posted by Sue Wagener | Filed under Covenant House Youth
Covenant House Missouri visit on June 24
In June, another group of youth visited the Mary Ryder Home for an afternoon of games and conversations with residents. These young men and women enjoyed the afternoon playing Uno and Wii, sharing stories and appreciating each other’s company.
You may know that the Mary Ryder Home, a nonprofit residential care/assisted living facility, is hard at work providing seniors a safe home, medical attention and an array of programs and services focused on promoting healthy aging.
CHMO looks forward to the ongoing relationship with the Mary Ryder Home. It’s a wonderful opportunity to have two non-profit organizations share in each other’s resource – people!
Final five days underway!
Posted by Sue Wagener | Filed under Announcements
The final five days of our Campaign are underway! It’s exciting to share that we have raised almost $15,000 in gifts and pledges and attribute that to our great group of community supporters. Over the last two weeks many friends, staff and volunteers of CHMO have made calls to past donors, reconnecting them with our important mission. We’re hopeful we’ll reach our goal of $20,000 by Thursday, June 30!
If you haven’t already done so, please consider making a gift today. Only five more days to go, and each and every gift will impact our campaign goal and ultimately, our services to youth.
Please visit our blog on Friday, July 1 for the final total. We’re excited to see the outcome!

The Campaign Continues!

The $20,000 in 20 Days Campaign continues and with your help, we’ll reach our goal! As of Friday, June 17 we have raised $3,828 in gifts. We thank those who have already given online or mailed a check. You have made a difference for at least one youth because…
$25 provides a number of meals for our youth in crisis care
$50 covers educational materials to prepare for the GED
$100 helps a homeless youth stay in a warm and safe bed for an evening
With 13 days to go, you still have time to help us. Please take a moment and make that gift today!

Meet Our New Tutor
Posted by Sue Wagener | Filed under Covenant House Youth, Volunteers
Maurice - our new volunteer tutor
We had a new GED tutor start today at Covenant House. He’s pretty special for a few reasons. First of all, he’s an English teacher and we’re always grateful to have teachers working with our youth, but maybe more notable is his affiliation with CHMO. Maurice lived at Covenant House – like all our residents, he began in the crisis program and then progressed into our transitional living program where he thrived. He was part of our Youth Advisory Council and served as an ambassador for CHMO on several occasions. He also kept us all up to date on what was happening here through a newsletter he wrote and produced. Last December, he graduated from Harris Stowe University and moved into his own apartment. He works with ninth graders in the writing lab at Hazelwood Central. It’s great to see him in the halls of the Cov again.
