The Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield packed kits and provided 120 youth with toiletry gifts that they will receive this holiday season. These gifts are filled with full-size essentials, which will support their hygiene needs, while also ensuring these youth facing homelessness are celebrated this season.

Our movement to end youth homelessness is for everyone! Join us this November for Youth Homelessness Awareness Month. Like Ariana DeBose says, we are radically inclusive and relentlessly engaged. There are ways for anyone and everyone to get involved — from as easy as spreading the word to your family & friends, to as big as spending a night sleeping outside to raise money for homeless youth. The way to join the movement that works for you works for us. Find out where to start at https://lnkd.in/ekYpfAuJ

We are continuing to introduce you to our CHNY Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is CHNY's governing body, caring for the fiduciary aspects of our organization, and ensuring fulfillment of our mission. Today, meet Lou Rauchenberger, CHNY Board Chair!

In 2024, 38% of our young people identified as Hispanic or Latine. We aim to celebrate and honor all of our youth, and have enjoyed different events and activities during #HispanicHeritageMonth! "We love celebrating Hispanic culture, especially because almost half of our population at Tao Group Hospitality identifies as Hispanic,” said @taocares volunteer, Wendy. “It’s really gratifying to be able to transfer our skills of embracing our team members’ cultures and making them feel supported to our extended communities like Covenant House.” Check out our blog linked below to read more about how we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month at CHNY, thanks to volunteers from longtime partners Tao Group Hospitality and Relish Catering + Hospitality! https://lnkd.in/dg2beCWw

Today is Health Care for People Experiencing Homelessness Day & we want to highlight our Community Health Center (CHC) and the importance of providing affordable, quality healthcare to those experiencing homelessness. People experiencing homelessness face higher rates of chronic disease, mental health issues, and other conditions. CHCs provide essential care continuity to address these health challenges. #NHCW24 #ValueCHCs
