Updated 11/11/24 – our staff and volunteers are gearing up for our annual Sleep Out fundraiser, so we’re not accepting donations of in-kind items right now. Please stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram pages where we’ll announce when we’re accepting in-kind donations again and thank you for your generous spirit!
Your donations of items for youth ages 16-22 are greatly appreciated – thank you! Please consult our Amazon wishlists above for suggestions.
Donations are accepted Monday – Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM at 611 N Rampart St, New Orleans, LA 70112. If you would like to coordinate a large donation or a donation drive, please email us at chnoinfo@covenanthouse.org or call 504-584-1136.

Guidelines and Advice
Hygiene items
- We prefer hygiene products in full sizes that our youth can share together – shower gels, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Save the travel sizes for your next vacation!
- We prefer shower gel over bar soap – it’s easier to share.
- We need natural hair care! About 80% of our youth are Black, so it’s great to have products they can use.
Clothing
- Keep it light. Please take care not to overpack bags or boxes – our volunteers and staff will thank you!
- Keep it clean. Please launder or clean all items before donating them. This lets us spend more time looking after our youth.
- Keep it fresh. We regret we cannot distribute to our youth clothing with inappropriate messages, including adult themes like drugs, alcohol or violence; or political issues such as candidates or parties.
- Under where? We accept underwear new with tags or in original packaging in all adult sizes and genders. Our boys tend to prefer boxers or boxer briefs.
- We prefer casual clothing. Few of our youth need suits and office wear – save those for charities who need them!
- Our youth are ages 16-22. Fashions and tastes change every generation – if you can’t picture a teenager wearing it, you may want to save it for another charity.
Linens and towels
- We accept linens and towels new with tags or in original packaging. Beds at Covenant House are twin sized.
Items for Young Children and Babies
- The need is greater for items for our teenagers! We appreciate the generosity, but we receive far more items than we need for babies and young children. Please call us first at 504-584-1136 before bringing in items for babies and young children.
- Our youngest residents are ages 5 and under. Items for children ages 5-15 should be donated to another charity – we’re happy to help you locate one.
- Check the date – We regret we cannot accept car seats past their expiration date.
Share A Meal
Sharing a meal with our youth is a fun way to support Covenant House youth. We’ll ask you to prepare a meal for 75 teenagers, either for lunch or dinner. You can choose to either simply drop everything off, or you can stay and serve your delicious meal to our youth.
Contact us at chnoinfo@covenanthouse.org or 504-584-1136 to set up a meal!
Large Donations & Donation Drives
We are deeply grateful for your support. If you have more than 50 pieces of any particular item, PLEASE call us at 504-584-1136 prior to making your donation. Our storage space is limited and we want to be sure we can fully honor your intent to help! Thank you in advance.
