Beginning today, you can support the St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank while getting a delicious and festive treat in return.
As myFM first shared last week, Tim Hortons restaurants are hosting a special Holiday edition of their annual Smile Cookie campaign, with 50% of the proceeds benefiting our local food bank.
We sat down with General Manager of the St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank, Karen McDade, who noted just how exciting it was to find out they would be the recipient.
There are 7 Tim Hortons restaurants located in St. Thomas, which are owned by siblings Diane Stewart and Brian Tisdelle. All you have to do to support the food bank this week, is stop by at least one of the location and purchase a Holiday Smile Cookie for $1.50 plus tax.
McDade notes it’s couldn’t have come at a better time as the need for donations to fill their shelves has never been greater.
Adding that the cost of living seems to be the contributing factor for this increase.
And as much as non-perishable food donations are vital for their operation, McDade says these monetary funds will allow them to purchase the products they are lacking.
You can pick up a Holiday Smile Cookie- a white chocolate chip sugar cookie infused with red and green sprinkles and adorned with a hand-decorated smile- in support of the St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank, now through November 19th.
Those in the Aylmer area can stop by one of their 2 locations, with proceeds supporting the Corner Cupboard Food Bank, with Tim Hortons restaurants in Dutton and West Lorne giving back to Million Dollar Smiles.
