House Food Bank Society secretary Kathy Haveman a $7,280 cheque – the proceeds from the store’s annual Smile Cookie campaign.
Noting Tim Hortons has been working with the local Food Bank for a number of years, Steve says the recent campaign was the “best year ever” in terms of the cheques handed out.
“It was a terrific effort by everyone and terrific support from this amazing little community. So, all the way around, a successful campaign once again.”
He adds the one-week Smile Cookie campaign is a team effort between the Food Bank volunteers and Tim Hortons employees, including sales and decorating.
“We sell the cookies in the store and at the drive-through window, and the Food Bank people go out and solicit sales at local businesses and organizations.”
Steve notes Tim Hortons will continue with the program because “it’s so successful and a win-win for everyone.”
Kathy has nothing but praise for Tim Hortons and the support it gives to the Food Bank throughout the year.
“We appreciate everything that Barb and Steve do for us; they’re so much fun and great to work with on the cookie campaign.
“And we get the big bonus by getting money to buy food for all of the needy people.”
