Tim Hortons® Smile Cookie Campaign is Back, Supporting Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation in Chilliwack

From September 14 to September 20, the full $1 from every Smile Cookie sold in Chilliwack will support Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation

CHILLIWACK, September 11, 2020 – Last year, Tim Hortons® restaurant owners and guests across the country raised a record $9.8 million to support local charities through their annual Smile Cookie campaign. Back again for its 24th year, Tim Hortons Smile Cookie week will support charities in communities across the country, including the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF)  – one of 550 Canadian charities, hospitals and community programs supported through the annual campaign.

For one week, from September 14 – 20, restaurant owners will donate the full $1 from every freshly baked chocolate chunk Smile Cookie purchased to support charities in their community. Guests can email the foundation at info@fvhcf.ca to get a form to for Smile Cookies through their restaurants in Chilliwack and Hope.

This year, Tim Hortons restaurants in Chilliwack are supporting the FVHCF which raises funds for vital equipment and programs funded or endorsed by Fraser Health. They serve the communities of Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Hope, Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs.  Funds from the Smile Cookie campaign will go to support the greatest need at Chilliwack General Hospital

We’re continuing to support these organizations as we kick off our annual Smile Cookie week, one of our largest restaurant owner-led initiatives, that continues to support local charities who need it most.
