Burlington Emergency Shelter

“Suppose a brother or sister has no clothes or food. Suppose one of you says, ‘Go, I hope everything turns out fine for you. Keep warm. Eat well.’ And you do nothing about what they really need? Then what good have you done?” -James 2:15-16

Welcome to the
Burlington Emergency Shelter


 
We are a Christian Homeless Shelter that was founded in 1982 to help provide temporary shelter for homeless adult men and women in the Chittenden County area of Vermont.
 
 OUR MISSION
The Burlington Emergency Shelter has a three fold mission:
 
  • To provide temporary shelter, food and other services to all men and women in need who come to us professing a willingness to help themselves.
  • To help these individuals become productive members of society.
  • To demonstrate God’s love so that people in need might find hope and peace within our doors. 
  • Our shelter is located at 89 North St. in Burlington, VT. Our Intake hours are from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and guests must speak with our Operations Manager prior to spending the night. The shelter operates from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. every day and our office is open from
    8:00a.m. - 4:00p.m. Monday through Friday.
