Cookie Monster caught blue-handed stealing Smile Cookies on first day of fundraiser
All proceeds from Tim Hortons Smile Cookies in Kirkland Lake will help Blanche River Health hospitals buy medical equipment, with local volunteers joining the effort.
- The Inn of the Good Shepherd in Sarnia received all proceeds from Tim Hortons chocolate chunk cookies decorated with a pink smile, sold through Sunday at locations in Sarnia and Bright's Grove.
- This fundraiser arrives as the Inn, which operates foodbank, soup kitchen, and shelter services, faces rising demand and declining donations. Executive Director Jack Christine noted the community remains supportive despite these pressures.
- Recently, the Inn achieved accreditation through Food Banks Canada's standards of excellence program, covering more than 80 operational areas. Christine said the certification proves the organization is "being accountable for all the services we're providing."
- Seeking to beat the over $71,000 raised in 2023, the Inn relies on these funds to serve more than 2,000 individuals monthly. The organization hopes this year's campaign will exceed that benchmark.
- Staff and community volunteers decorated cookies throughout the week supporting the campaign. The Inn maintains daily operations, with foodbank services opening at 9 a.m. to serve those in need.
