The Burlington
Emergency Shelter (BES) is a Christian Homeless
shelter, established in 1982. We
are a
homeless shelter for up to 14 men and 4 women. In addition, we run the Good Neighbor
Program with the ability to house
up to 8 men. Most
of these men are from
the Corrections system looking to change their lives and become
productive
members of society once again. They
partner with us in the program from six to twelve months.
BES is a
nonprofit corporation that is exempt from federal income tax under
section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are
a privately funded
organization that relies solely on charitable donations from
individuals, churches,
businesses and grants.Your donations to BES
are tax deductible. By supporting BES you are supporting homeless
adults looking for employment.
It is your
contributions that keep BES going. Without the generosity of people
like you, BES would not exist. You can help us by making a financial
contribution to our programs, or by volunteering.
