NA Raises Over $10,000 for Covenant House in Solidary Sleep Out

Thanks to the generosity of spirit of our community, NA was named one of the Sleep Out Champions for the Covenant House of New Jersey for 2018-19 for raising over $10,000!
 
"I'm so proud of the continued commitment of our NA community to this program,” Director of Community Service Sarah Fischer said.
In April, 34 kids and two faculty members didn’t let an April held NA's third Solidary Sleep Out to raise money for the Covenant House in New Jersey to support youth homelessness. With the theme of “the stories behind the statistics, students heard directly from Dennis Barton who was on the streets for 13 years and is now the director of the Speaker’s Bureau, an organization that does outreach and education. Students also heard from one of the development directors at Covenant House NJ in Newark, Alexandra Polimeni, about the services Covenant House offers. Students had breakout sessions looking at the statistics of homelessness before closing the night by making 100 bagged meals for the Bridges Run the following day and held a discussion about their experiences and what they had learned throughout the night.

NA will get its name on a plaque at Covenant House in Newark to recognize their contribution.
