As sure as flowers will sprout – Spring is Tim Hortons’ time to show their support for their community – one Smile Cookie at a time.

From April 28 to May 4 100% of the proceeds from the Carleton Place and Almonte Tim Hortons’ locations will support the Carleton Place District Memorial Hospital Foundation and Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation and the Lanark County Food Bank – The Hunger Stop.

Cookies will be sold for $2 each, with the Food Bank and Hospital Foundations splitting the proceeds 50/50.

“The Smile Cookie campaign brings our community together in the sweetest way possible,” says Robyn Arseneau, Executive Director of the CPDMH Foundation. “The energy and enthusiasm we see each year is absolutely heartwarming. Every cookie truly makes a difference for patient care at our hospital.” 

“One cookie might seem small, but together they create a wave of support that nourishes our entire community. Since the food bank relies entirely on public donations, the funds from this campaign will cover our milk bill for six months, ensuring that the 1,900 people we serve each month continue to receive this essential item,” Tammy Parent, Manager for The Hunger Stop.

The Lanark County Food Bank is a non-denominational, non-political organization sustained solely by private donations. It is a needs-based food bank; providing food to everyone who comes to the door asking for help.
