Both organizations say they are profoundly grateful to the owners of the six Tim Hortons restaurants in Lindsay, Nick and Meaghan Chapman, who selected Food Source and the Ross as their charity partners during the national Smile Cookie campaign.
The Chapmans recently welcomed representatives from the two charities to Tim Hortons on
Mount Hope Street in Lindsay to celebrate the sweet success of the Smile Cookie
campaign. A total of $46,472.66 was raised thanks to patrons’ participation! Both the RMH
Foundation and KLFS were presented a cheque for $23,236.33.
“When business leaders like Nick and Meaghan embrace local causes and inspire their
patrons to take part, they empower the entire community to make life better for everyone,”
said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “Our volunteers enjoyed partnering with the Food
Source team to decorate cookies and promote support for these high priority needs.”
“The Smile Cookie campaign is such a powerful reminder of what can happen when local
businesses, volunteers and community members come together for a shared purpose,”
said Ashley Anderson, Executive Director of Kawartha Lakes Food Source. “We were
proud to partner with the Ross team, Tim Hortons and our community to support both local
healthcare and food security.”
