Mitch Ackal recently participated in The Covenant House's Sleep Out, an international movement of individuals who accept the challenge to sleep outside for one night so that homeless kids don’t have to. Participants raise funds and awareness for Covenant House, a network of shelters that provides safety and support to homeless young people in more than 30 cities across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. 

Mitch exceeded his $5,000 goal and raised more than $7,000 to help youth facing homelessness find safe shelter and loving care at Covenant House. That care includes essential services like education, job training, medical care, mental health and substance use counseling, and legal aid — everything they need to build independent, sustainable futures.
