Covenant Shelter's Annual Fundraiser & Merrill Fontaine Awards Dinner - May 2025


As the only family shelter in southeastern Connecticut, with open arms to both families and single males, Covenant Shelter is there for those facing homelessness in our community. But we can't do it alone.

This year's event was more than just a fundraiser; it was a chance to connect with compassionate individuals like yourself who share a passion for helping others. Guests had the opportunity to network and be inspired by our guest speaker, Donald Whitehead, from the National Coalition for the Homeless. His insights shed light on the realities of homelessness in America. We also honored Father Mark O'Donnell and Representative Anthony Nolan, two remarkable individuals who have made significant contributions to our community. However- the most important part of the evening was you. Your presence isn't just about attending a dinner; it's about joining a movement and creating meaningful change. Those who joined directly supported our mission to provide essential services and a safe place for those experiencing homelessness. Together, we can create a future where everyone has a place to call home. Your generosity makes a significant difference in the lives of those who need it most.
