“We an honoured to be chosen again to receive the proceeds from the Smile Cookies. These proceeds really make a difference in our operations to feed community members of York Region,” says Alex Bilotta, CEO of the Food Bank of York Region. “Our network feeds over 10,500 children per year. We encourage our neighbours to purchase a cookie if they can. That little purchase from can really make a difference for so many.”
Tim Hortons has been raising funds for local charities for over 25 years. Last year, Tim Hortons restaurants raised a record-breaking $19.7 million for local charities and community groups – an incredible accomplishment contributing to the smile cookie legacy of over $111 million raised since the program’s inception.
Every smile cookie is as unique as the people, charities, and communities they help.
