The annual Smile Cookie campaign in Kelowna has once again proven to be a success, raising money for healthy snacks for children. The campaign, which is organized by Tim Hortons, has been a staple in the community for many years and continues to make a positive impact.
This year, the campaign ran from September 13th to 19th, with all proceeds from the sale of Smile Cookies going towards providing nutritious snacks for children in need. The cookies, which are decorated with a smiley face, were sold for $1 each and were available at all Tim Hortons locations in Kelowna.
The campaign not only raises funds for a good cause, but it also brings the community together. Many people eagerly wait for the annual campaign to start, and this year was no different. The Smile Cookies were a hit, with many customers purchasing multiple cookies to support the cause.
According to Tim Hortons, the Smile Cookie campaign has raised over $65 million for charities across Canada since its inception in 1996. In Kelowna alone, the campaign has raised over $100,000 in the past five years, with all funds going towards providing healthy snacks for children in local schools and community programs.
The impact of this campaign goes beyond just providing snacks for children. It also promotes the importance of healthy eating and supports the well-being of our future generation. With the rise of food insecurity and childhood obesity, initiatives like the Smile Cookie campaign play a crucial role in addressing these issues.
The success of this year’s campaign is a testament to the generosity and kindness of the Kelowna community. It is heartwarming to see how a simple act of buying a cookie can make a significant difference in the lives of children.
In conclusion, the annual Smile Cookie campaign in Kelowna has once again brought smiles to many faces while raising funds for a worthy cause. It is a true reflection of the community’s spirit and generosity, and we can’t wait to see the impact it will have on the lives of children in need.
