Bags of Love is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization in Hubley, Nova Scotia, founded by Tiffany Wagner. Its mission is to provide care bags filled with essential items to people experiencing homelessness and hardship throughout Nova Scotia.

What makes the organization unique is its funding model. Rather than relying solely on donations, Bags of Love sells handmade items such as jewelry, scrunchies, beaded pens, and its popular “Blind Date with a Book” packages. Every purchase helps fund the creation and distribution of care bags for those in need.

The organization began after Tiffany’s volunteer work exposed her to the challenges faced by vulnerable community members. She started assembling and distributing care bags, and the positive impact on recipients inspired her to expand the initiative. According to the story, Bags of Love has helped provide more than 3,300 care bags through the combined efforts of volunteers, donors, customers, and community supporters.

In short, Bags of Love is not just a handmade goods business—it is a community-driven nonprofit that turns purchases, donations, and volunteer efforts into practical support and kindness for people facing difficult circumstances.
