Join Atlanta's top executives in the 9th annual Sleep Out: Executive Edition on November 19, 2020 at The Home Depot Backyard to stand in solidarity with Atlanta's youth experiencing homelessness and escaping trafficking.
4.2 million youth in America will face homelessness this year. According to the 2019 homeless youth count done by Georgia State University, there are 3,300 homeless youth in metro Atlanta alone. Thanks to our incredible supporters, Covenant House Georgia served over 1,800 youth experiencing homelessness just last year.
In the wake of COVID-19, we know that this number will be higher than before leaving youth experiencing homelessness in our city needing our help now more than ever. Many youth are continuing to brave an unstable job market, inconsistent housing with colleges and universities going virtual, and loss of community as physical distancing is vital.
Through this, Covenant House Georgia is committed to providing these young people shelter, safety, and resources for stability. This stability can be made possible for young people through dedicated community members joining with Covenant House Georgia through the Sleep Out Movement.
The 2020 Sleep Out: Executive Edition will be comprised of 2 components: an In-Person event and a Virtual event. The In-Person event will be held at The Home Depot Backyard for participants that fundraise $5,000 or more. The virtual event will be held for participants that fundraise less than $5,000 and participants that wish to not attend the In-Person option. Both components will be held on Thursday, November 19, 2020.
