Lights out at 10 p.m.: More than 130 members of Burke United Methodist Church volunteered during the church’s Hypothermia Prevention Week in December, helping to transport, feed and care for clients. The BUMC shelter opened at 5:30 p.m. and closed at 7 a.m. Lights go out every night at 10 p.m., and volunteers take shifts to watch over clients as they sleep.
