Tim Hortons in Fort Frances is helping ensure healthcare remains close to home.

The annual Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign launches this week.

Proceeds from the sale of cookies sold at the Fort Frances store will go to Riverside Foundation for Health Care.

“We are so excited for this inaugural partnership that has been formed with our local Tim Hortons,” says Allison Cox, Foundation Director.

“Purchasing a smile cookie, whether as a treat for yourself or a token of appreciation for friends, family or employees is a sweet way to support health care close to home.”

The goal is to raise $10,000.

Cookies can be purchased for $1.50 plus tax, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Riverside Foundation.

For those wanting large orders, pre-orders for pick-up are appreciated.

A pre-order form can be found on Riverside Foundation’s website.

If there is enough interest, delivery will be offered on Thursday, May 2nd.

Smile cookies will be available through May 5th.
