Grenfell Ministries is a Unitarian Universalist faith-based non-for-profit that aims to provide support to marginalized demographics such as seniors, youth, women and gender diverse individuals and those who are or were formerly incarcerated. With a focus on those experiencing homelessness, mental health and substance use challenges. We serve with integrity, compassion and promote individuality and self-empowerment. We are committed to building communities through advocacy and collective support.
We are a peer-run, peer-led organization that strives to improve the quality of life for those we serve on their terms. In solidarity, we offer organized voices of lived experience to encourage programming, policy adaptation and reduce stigma and discrimination.
All our programs operate from a trauma-informed and harm reduction framework that caters to marginalized communities' diverse needs, embracing the principles of empowerment, integrity, and self-advocacy.
