The Holiday Smile Cookies campaign is back next week at Tim Hortons throughout the Cariboo.
From November 17th to 23rd, 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale of these sugar cookies will go to support local non-profit organizations in the region like Boys and Girls Club Williams Lake while the other half goes to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
Club Director Krista Harvey says the money they receive will go to their necessity nook as well as their Food Bank for the youth.
Harvey says last year Boys and Girls Club Williams Lake served over 400 children through multiple programs.
“We are so excited to be the chosen charity for Williams Lake this year again. At our main location we have youth services. We have a drop-in centre better known as NOOPA, and we have outreach, harm reduction programming, independent living program, there’s always something gone here.”
The 2 other Cariboo organizations that will benefit through the sale of Tim Hortons Smile Cookies are the South Cariboo Health Foundation and Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
$10.7 million was raised across Canada last year for hundreds of charities and community groups.
“We appreciate the community’s support, they always rally to help our children and youth and our families,” Harvey said.
