TenThirtyFive Grey/Bruce is a full-time charity serving
vulnerable youth and women in Grey and Bruce Counties.
We proudly fund our full-time charitable programs through sales at our upscale thrift boutique, featuring quality, gently loved women’s clothing. Every item in our store is generously donated, allowing us to transform community contributions into sustainable funding that supports our shop, our staff, and our mission.
In addition to boutique sales, we host fundraising initiatives to generate financial support for essential items such as new undergarments and personal care products. Because these items are provided directly to our participants, they must always be brand new. Your generosity ensures we can offer these necessities with dignity and care.
In our first year of operation we have provided our free shopping service to over 100 deserving recipients.
Wearing Hope
Vulnerable youth and women enrolled through our partner organizations receive a quarterly shopping voucher to visit our upscale thrift boutique and shop at no cost. They select everyday essentials for school or work, job interview attire, and formal wear—choosing pieces that help them feel confident and prepared for every opportunity.
Each guest leaves with a bag filled with personal care items & their chosen wardrobe selections.
TenThirtyFive Apparel proudly serves our community as a gender-inclusive space, welcoming and affirming every individual we support.
Spreading Hope
Because Grey-Bruce spans a large geographic region, TenThirtyFive Grey Bruce brings our mission directly into the community through pop-up shops. These pop-ups deliver our free services to vulnerable youth and individuals in outlying areas, helping remove transportation barriers and increase access to support.
We also host pop-up shops as fundraising initiatives, offering a curated selection of our boutique collection for sale at local markets and community events. Every purchase helps sustain our programs and extend our impact throughout Grey Bruce.
Sharing Hope
Our Mentorship Program focuses on four interconnected areas: creating meaningful rural youth employment opportunities; mentoring youth through service roles that support our voucher program and free community clothing pop-ups; training youth through our Fashion Show curriculum; and developing the HOWL (Healing Ourselves While Living and Learning) program in partnership with trusted community organizations.
Please follow us for updates as we continue to develop and implement the various aspects of our programs.
Our Goal
Our goal is to help rebuild confidence, dignity, and a sense of worth in the youth and women we serve. Our name is rooted in Hebrews 10:35: “Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” This promise guides everything we do.
Through access to quality clothing, personal care essentials, and our mentorship program, we provide both practical support and meaningful encouragement.
We aim to continue to create experiences that empower individuals to feel seen, valued, and prepared for new opportunities.
