25th Anniversary - Covenant House PA

The Case for Partnership

Why Covenant House
Pennsylvania. Why now.

This is CHPA's 25th anniversary year — a milestone that carries both credibility and momentum. Your partnership doesn't just fund a program. It associates your name with a quarter-century of impact, a citywide event at Citizens Bank Park, and a year of communications reaching 20,000 people across Philadelphia and beyond.

Young people at Covenant House Pennsylvania

A 25-year track record

From a dollar-a-month shelter in Kensington to Pennsylvania's first human trafficking prosecution to services across Philadelphia and York — we have earned the right to say what we do works.

Year-round visibility

The 25th anniversary program runs all year — a Launch event, a 12-edition 25 Faces Campaign, the Impact Report, and Sleep Out. Partners appear in every chapter, not just one.

Unmatched event platform

Sleep Out at Citizens Bank Park brings 200 C-suite executives together on the home field of the Phillies — jointly promoted with Covenant House International's 20,000-person digital list.

Employee engagement built in

Founding Partners receive a structured Service Day — your staff work directly alongside CHPA youth on resumes, mock interviews, and career conversations. It changes how a company shows up.

ESG with specificity

We report impact in concrete terms: nights of shelter, meals served, young people employed. Your investment doesn't disappear into overhead — it translates into outcomes you can communicate.

A permanent legacy option

Naming opportunities from $50K to $500K+ create a lasting presence at CHPA — your name woven into the lives of young people for decades, not just one anniversary year.

Our Story

25 Years of
Relentless Support.

From a dollar-a-month shelter in Kensington to Pennsylvania's first human trafficking prosecution to services across Philadelphia and York — partners invest in an organisation with a 25-year track record of doing what it says.

1999

Founded in Kensington

Jerome Kilbane arrives in Philadelphia, sent by Sister Mary Rose McGeady. A drop-in center opens in Kensington; the first shelter — leased for a dollar a month from Pastor Robin at Arch Street Methodist — follows in June 2000.

2001

Safe Haven Opens

Specialized services for youth who have experienced trafficking and exploitation launch — establishing CHPA as a leader in this critical, underserved area years before it became a policy priority.

2005

Founding the Pennsylvania Anti-Trafficking Coalition

CHPA helps found PATC, partnering with Catholic Social Services and Dawn's Place. Sister Mary Rose challenges every Covenant House site to lead on human trafficking — CHPA answers.

2010

Statewide Systems Change

CHPA's advocacy contributes to Pennsylvania's Commission on Human Trafficking and the passage of hotline legislation — translating frontline work into statewide policy impact.

2012

First Prosecution in Pennsylvania

CHPA's work contributes to the first successful criminal prosecution of human trafficking in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania — a milestone in the fight to protect vulnerable youth.

2016

York: Invited to Expand

York County — recognising CHPA's leadership in human trafficking response — invites CHPA to establish services there. Today York represents our commitment that no young person in Pennsylvania is beyond reach.

2025–26

25th Anniversary & Strategic Growth

CHPA marks 25 years with a new three-year strategic plan, an expanded Youth Advocacy Board, and a deepened commitment to systems change. The Sleep Out comes to Citizens Bank Park. The next chapter begins now.

Our Commitment to Partners

Partnership built on
unconditional love.

Covenant House's brand is built on absolute respect — for our youth, and for our partners. We steward your investment with transparency, share your impact with specificity, and honor your values in everything we do together.

We hero our young people.

Every story we share centers the dignity, strength, and agency of our youth. In every partnership communication — the joint film, the 25 Faces edition, the service day — the young person is the protagonist, always.

We make progress tangible.

Partners receive regular, specific impact updates. We show you exactly what your investment accomplished — in nights of shelter, meals served, and young people who found stable housing — not boilerplate thank-you letters.

We are truly there 24/7.

Covenant House is always open, because homelessness doesn't keep business hours. Your partnership keeps the lights on, every single night — in Philadelphia and in York.

We experience together.

Partnership with CHPA is a relationship, not a transaction. Through service days, site visits, advisory roles, and direct connection to mission, your team doesn't just give — they understand.
