We would love to have you donate new items to help provide our young people with some of the things they need as they work towards transitioning to independent living. We have two options – choose from the CHNJ Amazon Gift Registry or purchase gift cards from Amazon.
How We Help
Choose from the CHNJ Amazon Gift Registry
Our youth sometimes come in with nothing more than a plastic bag of possessions. Gifts can make a real and meaningful difference in their lives. Donate a gift to one of our sites.
We have identified five content areas for the DLC—Education; Employment; Financial Literacy; Social Navigation; and Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Wellness—the mastery of which we believe will improve every young person’s housing resilience.
Our new moms participate in a structure that promotes healthy parenting and equips them to support themselves and their children.

It is most helpful if gift cards are valued in ranges of $20 to $100. These are the brands of cards we can readily use.
Visa
ShopRite
Walmart
Mastercard
Home Depot
Target
American Express
Itunes
Dunkin Donuts
Amazon
Gift cards are a great idea for an upcoming celebration – have your friends and family buy gifts for a young person in need in lieu of bringing presents to a party for you. Maybe host a baby shower and collect the items on the registry for a new mom and her baby.
We Cannot Accept Used Items
While we appreciate all of your efforts to help us support our youth, we are unable to accept used items. The processing of these goods takes a substantial amount of facility space and personnel to sort, wash, store, and distribute items. Over time we have determined that accepting used items does not serve our mission in the most effective way, so we do not accept used goods of any type, but would welcome your support of new items via Amazon or with gift cards.
Amazon Smile
Amazon Smile is a simple and automatic way for you to support Covenant House New Jersey every time you shop at Amazon, at no cost to you. When you shop log in at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to us to care for homeless young people.
Just log in through their charity page, https://smile.amazon.com/ and designate Covenant House New Jersey as your charity.
