Tim Hortons Smile Cookies raised $55,100 for our Foundation!

A huge thank you to everyone who made this year's Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Week such an incredible success! We are very grateful to the 73 Mississauga Tim Hortons locations who participated and to everyone who volunteered or bought cookies during the week of November 18. Together a total of $110,231.27 was raised!  Half of those funds will go to the Children's Aid Foundation Ontario, and the other half to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, both of which will support children and youth in our region.

Children’s Aid Foundation Ontario was established in 2003 as the Peel Children’s Aid Foundation (Peel CAF) to raise funds to support innovative and urgently needed programs and services for children, youth, and families in the Region of Peel and those supported by Peel Children's Aid Society. These programs receive little to no government-funding. In August 2024, Peel CAF changed their name to Children’s Aid Foundation Ontario as part of a strategy to co-create an equitable philanthropic landscape in the child welfare space.

Every child and youth in our community deserves the chance to experience nurturing childhoods, equal opportunity to education, and have the tools and resources they need to build bright futures. By purchasing a Tim’s Holiday Smile Cookie at a Mississauga location, you helped to make these dreams a reality for the children, youth, and families we support. Thanks to everyone who participated in this campaign, and thanks to the Foundation for their dedication to improving the lives of children, youth and families in Peel.
