Our Story

Built on the Belief ThatNo One Goes Without

The Word Hub is a registered Canadian non-profit based in Halifax, NS — built by community, for community.

Our Mission

Serving Halifax with Dignity & Compassion

The Word Hub exists to serve our Halifax community through our operational branch, Humble Harvest. We provide essential resources, fresh produce, and a helping hand to neighbors in need — because no one should face hunger or hardship alone.

We are a registered Canadian non-profit — every resource, every donation, and every effort goes directly back into this community.

Community support

"Neighbors helping neighbors."

The heart of everything we do

Every person deserves to be treated with respect and honor, regardless of their circumstances.

We lead with empathy, understanding that everyone has a story and struggles we may not see.

Sustainability

From our greenhouses to our practices, we believe in caring for people and the planet together.
