O'Neil in an email wrote, "Covenant House is an incredible organization that helps teens who are homeless get back on their feet. ... In polarizing times like these, we believe our organizations can do two things that really matter and make a difference: first, create a fun, unifying, escape where you can stand, yell, cheer, clap, sing and dance together with perfect strangers as family. Second, we can serve and make the world better – especially for the kids have the odds stacked against them." Find out more about Covenant House.
