Youth homelessness is surging with Covid-19. Help CloseKnit champion love in the face of fear.

[CloseKnit @closeknitlove]

“Shelter-in-place” stirs the cauldron of family conflict—the leading cause of #youthhomelessness. But youth can find loving support in chosen families. CloseKnit champions these caring arrangements. #BeyondaBed #GiveAtHomeMN Consider giving today! https://t.co/qLQ6K0hviT
