About The Open Hamper Food Bank Society

Overview

A volunteer-based food bank operating in Pugwash, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, providing emergency food support to those in need. The organization operates a food bank, seasonal community garden, and sharing kitchen (when COVID restrictions permit), serving anyone in need in the geographic area extending from Malagash through Wallace and Pugwash to Wentworth and Port Howe and all surrounding areas.

Mission

To provide nutritious food and support to individuals and families in need in the Pugwash area and surrounding communities of Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, while offering educational opportunities through food preparation programs and community gardening initiatives.

Vision

Community support through 100% volunteer-driven operations, ensuring all donated resources go directly to serving clients with minimal administrative costs, and fostering food security through multiple approaches including direct distribution, education, and local food production.

Unique Value Proposition

A comprehensive food security approach that combines traditional food bank services with innovative programs including a sharing kitchen for food preparation education, a community garden for fresh produce, and volunteer-driven home delivery services for those unable to access the food bank directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

WellFunded eliminates the inefficiencies, inequities and ineffectiveness of traditional fundraising by centralizing and standardizing the process. Instead of spending time on endless grant applications, you create a single, detailed profile that philanthropists and foundations can easily discover and fund. Our other tools like our centralized due diligence tool and "2 click grants" (coming soon) build off of this core concept: that we can make things radically better by centralizing them on one common platform.

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and if your charity matches their preferences, you will automatically be notified in your dashboard, and can send your portrait onward right through to their WellFunded dashboard. Sort of like applying to a job through LinkedIn Easy Apply.

WellFunded charges philanthropists presently. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. However, we will always have a free tier. We will introduce pricing once enough active donors use the platform to influence giving.

Instead of relying on cold proposals or personal networks, WellFunded helps you get in front of philanthropists actively looking to give in your area of impact. With advanced search tools and standardized due diligence, your work speaks for itself—helping you build trust and attract new donors.

Charity profiles include leadership information, financial data, and clear funding needs. Philanthropists can also see impact reports and follow the giving activity of other donors, creating a more open and transparent ecosystem.

Yes. WellFunded prioritizes data security and does not sell or share your private information outside the platform.
