Community members can enjoy a sweet treat, share a smile and fight food insecurity all at the same time beginning later this month.

The Cambridge Food Bank has once again been announced as a beneficiary of Tim Hortons Smile Cookie week in the city.

From April 29 to May 5, all proceeds from the purchase of smile cookies will be donated and split between the food bank and Nutrition for Learning.

Both organizations were also the recipients of the funds in 2023, with each receiving just under $60,000 in donations from the campaign.

Nutrition for Learning, a charitable organization based in Ayr, offers access to nutrition programs in schools located in Waterloo Region.

In total, it supports 176 student programs throughout the Waterloo Region District School Board, Waterloo Catholic District School Board and the French Language Public School Board.

Across the country last year, Tim Hortons owners raised a record breaking $19.7 million for over 600 local charities and community groups.

Residents can pre-order boxes of cookies here starting April 29. Orders must be submitted 48 hours in advance.
