Roses are Overrated - Show a Homeless Kid love this V-day!

Meet Mercedes

Do 1 thing - show your love for homeless teens this Valentine's Day

Your snuggle-bunny probably doesn't want a box of chocolates, diamonds or those long stem roses. And how many stuffed teddy bears does one person need?

Show your love bug what you're really made of and save a young person's life by making a donation to CHM in their name. CHM will mail your schnookums a love letter telling them how great *you* are and wishing them a happy Valentine's Day.

In all sincerity, your support will make a huge impact in our kids' lives. Thank you for your love.

You can also participate in our do 1 thing campaign this month! (below)

We've put a face on homelessness.
Now you put a face on activism.

CHM will be opening our campus to the public on Valentine's Day from 10am to 2pm. What better way to stir up romance than bringing your honey for a tour of our campus?

Have other plans this Valentine's Day? (wink, wink) We kind of understand. Just make an effort to do something for our kids in the upcoming weeks, like throwing a fun Mardi Gras party and raising money for us! (don't forget to invite us!)

Thank you to everyone who helps our kids!! We are so thankful for the love shown to us by churches, schools, businesses, families and individuals who care enough to take a stand and do something for our kids. Your love is amazing, and we hope you'll continue to support our young people and get your friends to help too!

Not sure how to help? Here's one easy way: join our cause on Facebook, and start inviting your friends. You can donate directly through the site using Paypal as well! Every little bit counts.

Covenant House Michigan provides shelter and services to homeless and at-risk youth. We become a sanctuary for young people who have never had a home, or known love.
