ALT Support our community partner Covenant House as they are facing an urgent crisis. Earlier today, a crane caught fire and collapsed with 16 tons of concrete at the construction site adjacent to Covenant House New York. Thankfully, they safely evacuated 119 residents and staff, and no one was harmed. Covenant House needs your URGENT help to provide emergency shelter, food, and clean clothes to the youth overcoming homelessness in their care. Please consider making a donation to support Covenant House at this time of critical need.
