Clothing and Household Needs

Clothing for Older Teens and Babies: We are always in need of clothing for the kids who come through our doors each day. Donations of gently-worn clothing appropriate for teenagers, babies and toddlers are greatly appreciated.

Professional Attire: There is a constant need for professional attire for young adults who reside at Covenant House Texas. Unlike other 18 to 21-year-olds who may be going to college and have the support of their families, our older residents are struggling just to keep a roof over their heads. All of the young adults in our program are expected to be employed or be actively seeking employment. However, these kids have little or no money to purchase clothing, especially costly professional attire. Most rely entirely on donations of gently-worn clothing for jobs and interviews.

Household Items: Residents in our Rights of Passage programs need basic household items. In addition, we assist former Covenant House Texas residents who are making the transition to independent living with household basics. We are grateful for donations of used (and new!) items such as towels, blankets, sheets, beds, mattresses, kitchen utensils, appliances, furniture, telephones, televisions, etc.

Other Needs: Winter coats, diapers, office supplies, and canned goods.

Donations can be sent or delivered to:
