About Safe 'N Sound Grey Bruce

Safe ‘N Sound is a community within a community where our Participants (people at risk of homelessness or who are currently homeless) can access basic needs as well as support, advocacy, and referral.

Read More

Upon arrival, participants are warmly greeted by friends and understanding staff. Accessing our services is as simple as entering, grabbing a coffee, and settling in. No proof of eligibility is required; everyone is welcome as they are. All services are FREE!


We tailor our programming to meet individual needs, offering a range of essentials such as food, clothing, showers, laundry, hygiene products, and more. This inclusive approach attracts regular visitors who may not otherwise seek support, leading to opportunities for crisis counseling, housing assistance, and referrals to specialized programs. By fostering trust and rapport, we empower participants to access additional services when they're ready.


Join us on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 for the Coldest Night of the Year where you can walk and fundraise with us as we raise vital support for those in need right here in out community.
