BTV Shelter is "low barrier" and provides emergency accommodations, getting our neighbors out of the cold during our cold nights. When you volunteer to help with operations at the shelter you do more than provide an overnight stay, you are letting them know that people in the community care about their well being. We are so grateful to you for making this gesture of compassion!

BTV Shelter will host 37 guests each night. 

Make it a family tradition or bring in your work colleagues to assist. Volunteering is a great way to bond with the special people in your life.

We are seeking individuals who can commit to the same evening each week or every other week from 6:00-9:00pm to assist staff with creating a safe and supportive shelter environment. Responsibilities include assisting meal providers, serving and sharing dinner with shelter guests, helping new guests navigate bunk assignments, and most importantly investing in guests on a personal level.

BTV Shelter is located at 179 South Winooski Avenue, Burlington (see the map and parking directions below). Please register for volunteer days that are convenient for you on the calendar provided or by contacting us directly at volunteer@btvshelter.org.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your assistance!
