Holiday Smile Cookies rake in $32,900 for The Lending Cupboard
The results from the 2023 Tim Hortons’ Holiday Smile Cookie campaign are in and this holiday season is already extra sweet.
From November 13-19, the holiday-themed Smile Cookies were rapidly purchased, leading to unexpected and unprecedented success. As a result, a significant total of $32,900 was raised in a mere seven days in Red Deer alone!
This impressive fundraiser ensured The Lending Cupboard, this year’s chosen charity for Red Deer, received a hefty donation of over $16,000. These funds will go towards ensuring Central Albertans have vital access to the medical equipment and daily living aids that they need without the financial burden on those already dealing with health challenges.
“The ongoing support from this community leaves us humbled and grateful. We’d like to extend our immense gratitude to Tim Hortons for selecting The Lending Cupboard as their charity of choice for Red Deer, and thank you to everyone who participated by visiting their local Tim Hortons,” said Executive Director, Lori Shatto. “The success of this campaign speaks volumes about the strength, compassion and generosity within our community. To everyone who took the time to go to their local Tim Hortons and purchase a cookie to support a local non-profit – thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your simple act of buying a cookie has a powerful impact on the lives of many.”
