CLIENT OUTREACH SERVICES
The Grind Pembroke recognizes that, due to life circumstances, many of its patrons and clients will always need support – be it food, hygiene products etc.
While limited resources will not allow us to support such individuals for extended periods of time, we try to do our best to identify how their short-term basic needs can be met – either directly from the community donations with which we are entrusted, or by referral to other community resources.
Because of our limitations, we started to re-focus our efforts prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the move from the downtown core. The goal of this re-focusing was to provide more of a “hands up” to help individuals in need become more resilient and self-supporting.
Many new services have been introduced to support the needs of our clients:
