April 10, 2024 — The Burlington Food Bank
The Burlington Food Bank is thrilled to announce its selection as the charitable partner in the highly anticipated 2024 Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign beginning on April 29 and running through to May 5 in Tim Hortons stores across Burlington.
Once again, Tim Hortons restaurant owners are generously donating 100% of the proceeds from Smile Cookie sales during this time to over 600 charities and community programs nationwide, continuing a tradition of support that has spanned 28 years.
Last year, the Burlington program raised close to $145,000 for the Burlington Food Bank. With the incredible generosity of Tim Hortons owners, staff, patrons and the dedication of local volunteers, the Burlington Food Bank is excited to make an even greater impact this year.
“We are incredibly grateful to Tim Hortons for selecting the Burlington Food Bank to be a part of the 2024 Smile Cookie campaign,” says Robin Bailey, Executive Director. “We have experienced an over 40% increase in demand for food bank services over the same time last year. Every Smile Cookie sold will make a difference in our ability to support households currently experiencing food insecurity.”
By purchasing a delicious chocolate chunk Smile Cookie, patrons will directly contribute to supporting the Burlington Food Bank to continue to serve our community with dignity and compassion.
Please join us for our campaign launch event on Monday, April 29 at 10 a.m. at the Tim Hortons location, 5051 Harvester Road Burlington.
This event will feature short words from Burlington Mayor, Marianne Meed Ward; the Honourable Member of Parliament for Burlington, Karina Gould; Tim Hortons Store Owner, Robin Evans; and Burlington Food Bank Executive Director, Robin Bailey. And of course, Smile Cookies!
