With his extensive career in law enforcement Sheriff Washington has seen first-hand the damage youth homelessness has caused. It’s why he gives his time as a board member for Covenant House, which houses and helps educate young people with nowhere to go. Each year the sheriff spends the night out in the cold to help raise money for the non-profit. This year he challenged Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel to join him, along with Genesse County Sheriff Chris Swanson. Both men graciously accepted the challenge. Members of the WCSO executive staff also packed their sleeping bags to support the cause.
