What is Nova Scotia's Community Haul?
Weddings and school concerts, charity bake sales and chase-the-ace - our community halls are where Nova Scotians have come together for generations to celebrate and support one another. We’ve transformed the community hall into a Community Haul to help you discover the best of local businesses across our region.
Nova Scotia's Community Haul is a local gift box company with a mission to create positive community impact. Through our support of local small businesses, partnerships with social enterprises and environmentally thoughtful suppliers, and a $5 donation from each box going directly to cause partners in our community, we are helping our customers give back in a significant way, one box at a time.
Do you want to support local, but not sure where to start? Do you love fun surprises delivered to your doorstep every month? Do you love to give gifts with meaning and purpose?
You’re definitely in the right place!
Whether you live here or love Nova Scotia from afar - it’s easy to support and discover the best that Nova Scotia has to offer. Visit our product page now to get started!
