Bite into a good cause : Smile cookies are back!

Holiday Smile Cookies are back next week, running from Nov. 17 to 23 at Tim Hortons locations across the country.

Proceeds from the sale of white-chocolate sugar cookies, with red and green sprinkles and piped icing smile, will be going towards several groups in the East Kootenay Communities. 

In Cranbrook  the funds are going to both Cranbrook Food Bank locations. In Creston, proceeds will benefit the Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society. Fernie and Sparwood locations are supporting their local Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, while Invermere’s campaign will support the Hospice Society of the Columbia Valley.

Since 1996, the annual Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign has raised more than $130 million for charities chosen by Tim Hortons restaurant owners. Last year, $10.7 million was raised across Canada for hundreds of charities and community groups, including Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

You can support your local organizations from Nov. 17 to 23 by buying a Smile Cookie. 

“Giving back has never tasted so good,” Tim Hortons said.
