Since 1975 Burke United Christian Ministries has been an intergral part of our community. Giving a hand up whenever possible is our purpose.

The mission of Burke United Christian Ministries is to restore resilience in people living in poverty or experiencing homelessness ensuring their essential needs are met. Feeding every person walking into the Soup Kitchen a nutritious meal, listening to our neighbors' stories, sharing hospitality, counseling in times of crisis, assisting families in crisis with food, clothing and financial assistance. We assist those in danger of experiencing homelessness through emergency funds for utilities and rent. We accomplish our purpose with Christ at the forefront of all we do. Through Christian love, fellowship, and works, we bring our community together in realizing the Gospel daily.

What's That Wednesday - Crisis and H.O.P.E. Center

Crisis Assistance can be used to help pay rent, power or water bills. This process is handled over the phone only. In order to meet the crisis qualification, there must be something to occur within the last 14 days that prevents someone from paying that bill. A client must have a eviction notice or disconnect notice. This assistance is on a case by case basis, and can be used once a year.

The H.O.P.E. Center provides services for the unhoused population. Clients are able to take showers, do laundry, and visit the clothing closet.
Showers are available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 1:30 pm. All supplies are provided to clients and can be used every day.
Each client is able to wash one load of laundry once a week, from 9 am to 12:30 pm Monday through Friday. Detergent is provided.
Once every 15 days, clients can visit the Clothing Closet for a change of clothes. A change of clothes includes shirt, pants, undergarments and socks. This is available from 9 am to 1:30 pm Monday through Friday.

Check back in next week for the final What's That Wednesday on the Thrift @ BUCM!
