SFE Energy and Covenant House Help to Keep Youth Warm This Winter in the Northeast

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - SFE Energy has proudly donated to Covenant House in order to help with their winter 'Crisis Shelter' for youth.

"The winter is an especially trying time for homeless youth, having to endure frigid temperatures," said Gerry Haggarty, President of Summitt Energy. "We are happy to support Covenant House in their efforts to keep the youth in New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey warm and off of the streets."

Each year in the U.S. alone, as many as 2 million youth will face a period of homelessness, and every year more than 5,000 of these young people lose their lives to the streets. Covenant House hopes to inspire homeless and at-risk young people to move toward safe, stable, and loving places where they can achieve independent living and pursue their life dreams.  The goal of Covenant House is to help each young person they meet and provide the tools they need in guiding them on a path toward success.

"When people like our friends at SFE Energy invest in our young people, amazing things happen," said Covenant House President Kevin Ryan. "SFE Energy is helping our homeless kids believe in themselves and pursue their dreams."

SFE Energy feels privileged to have been able to lend a hand to Covenant House during this cold winter season. This donation is part of the ongoing relationship between SFE Energy and Covenant House.
