Foundry Abbotsford will be one of the recipients of funds raised during the Holiday Smile Cookie fundraiser at 14 Tim Hortons locations in Abbotsford.
The campaign runs from Nov. 18 to 24, and each cookie sells for $1.50. The money raised will be shared with Foundry Abbotsford and Tim Hortons Foundation camps.
“We’re grateful to be a part of the Holiday Smile Cookie campaign. Every cookie sold in Abbotsford helps us support youth accessing primary and mental health care,” Foundry Abbotsford Manager Elizabeth Shields said.
Foundry Abbotsford is a collaboration of program partners including Fraser Health with Archway Community Services as the lead agency.
Foundry Abbotsford offers integrated services for youth and families focusing on mental health, substance use, primary care, peer support, and social services.
Serving over 2,000 youth last year, their goal is to make it easier for young people aged 12-24 to find the help and support they need. Services are free and confidential and are offered in a youth-friendly environment.
Tim Hortons has run its annual Smile Cookie campaign for 25 years to raise money for charities and community groups, but this is only the second time it is taking place during the holiday season.
Last year, Tim Hortons guests helped raise $9.8 million through the inaugural Holiday Smile Cookie campaign across Canada.
The Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookie is a delicious white chocolate sugar cookie infused with red and green sprinkles and hand-decorated with a white icing smile face.
Tim Hortons locations supporting the campaign are located at: 30340 Automall Drive, 2135 Abbotsford Way, 2935 Blue Jay Rd, 1794 Clearbrook Rd South, 1795 Clearbrook Rd, 2434 Clearbrook Rd, 28060 Fraser Highway, 31755 South Fraser Way, 32780 South Fraser Way, 1915 McCallum Rd, 3122 Mt.
