Restaurant owners from Caledon are donating 100% of proceeds from sales of Smile Cookies to Caledon Meals on Wheels
Tim Hortons restaurant owners and millions of generous Tim Hortons guests helped to break a new Smile Cookie record by raising $19.7 million for local charities and community groups across the country.
This year in Caledon, local Tim Hortons restaurant owners, Brad & Liz Stafford (Bolton restaurants), Scianitti family (Mayfield/Airport restaurant), and Jay MacDonald (Caledon Village restaurant) and guests, helped raise $45,187 to support Caledon Meals on Wheels.
Caledon Meals on Wheels has been apart of the Smile Cookie Campaign since 2015 with a total donation over the years of $276,546, with funds raised being used to support nutrition, safety, social and wellness programs for seniors and people with disabilities.
In the heart of every Smile Cookie lies the power to nourish hope and bring joy to our community. With immense gratitude, we extend our sincerest thanks to our local Tim Hortons for their amazing support during Smile Cookie Week. Through their partnership, Caledon Meals on Wheels continues to fulfill its vital mission of providing nourishment and companionship to those in need. With these funds, we not only feed the body but also feed the soul, enriching lives and spreading warmth throughout Caledon.”
– Kim Rodrigues, Executive Director Caledon Meals on Wheels
Thank you to Tim Hortons for putting a meaningful campaign to support local non-profits in various communities. The non-profit world is often dismissed and very underfunded for the work that we do. We rely heavily on donations and campaigns like Smile Cookie to help Caledon Meals on Wheels take care of seniors in our community. Whether that be our meals program, or our wellness programs, every dollar counts.
Smile Cookie is always an exciting week for our staff, volunteers, board members and even our community. We love to see familiar faces and those who support us every year by buying a cookie at the drive thru or placing a large order with us! Our awesome community in Caledon has truly been so amazing. Every step of the way they have been nothing but kind and acknowledge the work we do. Thank you to our incredible Caledon community for supporting us with our Smile Cookie campaign, we could not have done this without you!
