The New York Red Bulls will be hosting a blanket drive to benefit the homeless youth served by the Covenant House before the Red Bulls-Colorado Rapids home opener on March 15. After an incredibly cold winter, the Covenant House is in need of new, unused blankets. If you’re a kid used to sleeping on park benches or under bridges, brand new warm blankets seem like incredible luxuries ... and you can help provide them. Thanks to your help, the kids say that Covenant House isn't a shelter – it’s a home.
TICKETS: Be there for the Red Bulls' home opener against the Colorado Rapids on March 15
