Fund Scholarships: Household Name and Hope Blooms

fund scholarships: They left with 40,000 to help increase production and support the organization as they made salad dressings to sell, which fund scholarships for North End kids, according to The Chronicle Herald. The dressings have been sold at HRM Superstore locations since 2015, and in a few weeks two locations in Cape Breton will have the bottles on their shelves as well. Hope Blooms became a household name in Nova Scotia when the organization's team of youth volunteers appeared on the Dragons' Den on CBC, and made an impression on the dragons. This year their very first alumni is graduating from the University of Toronto. Mark Boudreau, Atlantic director for corporate affairs for Loblaws and a board member with Hope Blooms, says the organization is trying to navigate through all of this expansion, and with it comes concerns over funding. Next year there will be four more graduates, and more and more for each year coming up, and the organization has also expanded by helping a number of other community members, including seniors and Syrian refugees.
