Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookies help United Way

Tim Hortons is offering a way to spread kindness this holiday season through the second-annual Holiday Smile Cookie campaign and United Way Perth-Huron (UWPH) is among the organizations benefitting.

From Monday, November 18 to Sunday, November 24 people can go to Tim Hortons restaurant in Seaforth, Clinton, Blyth, and Milverton to pick up a Holiday Smile Cookie for $1.50 each. Proceeds from sales will be split 50/50 between UWPH’s Urgent Needs Fund and Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

“The Fund helps local people in a time of immediate need and can mean the difference between someone having to choose between going hungry or paying a bill, or between a car repair they can’t afford and losing a job,” said Michelle Millar, UWPH Manager Community Development, Southern Huron and Goderich and Area.

The Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookie is a delicious, white chocolate chip sugar cookie that’s infused with red and green sprinkles and adorned with a hand-decorated smile.

Tims Holiday Smile Cookies are a great treat to share with family members, friends and colleagues who can join in on giving back to their communities, one cookie at a time.

“We invite everyone to buy a cookie when you stop in for your Tims coffee. Through this simple act, you’re helping someone in the community you care about,” added Millar.

“And if you’re an office or company, consider pre-ordering enough for your entire staff.”

Organizations and companies can go to perthhuron.unitedway.ca to download a printable order form, or email fundraising@perthhuron.unitedway.ca to request a form. All pre-orders must be submitted in hard copy.

The UWPH’s Urgent Needs Fund is accessible 24 hours a day, all year, in over 150 languages through the 211 helplines.

The Fund provides financial support for essentials such as winter clothing, car repairs, rent arrears, groceries and more. Last year, 314 people across Huron County accessed the Fund.

Last year, Tims guests helped raise $7,845 through the inaugural Holiday Smile Cookie campaign.
