About The Grind Pembroke

The Grind Pembroke is a volunteer-driven, incorporated charitable organization (CRA Registration # 763530896RR0001) serving marginalized, low- to no-income community members in Renfrew County through programs and services located in downtown Pembroke, Ontario. It provides a safe environment in which clients can receive available, non-clinical services in a dignified and confidential manner, and who can socialize and participate in support programs on their journey towards becoming more self-sufficient and fully integrated into community life. The Grind Pembroke strives to be agents of change in the community through its Coffee House (including a Community Kitchen), Outreach Programming (information sessions & activities), Shelter Services (including a transition housing initiative to be launched in early 2020), Client Services Office (helping clients in need connect to appropriate community health & social services in partnership with major service providers), and Youth Services
