Tim Horton's Smile Cookie Initiative

Since launching in 1996, the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign has raised more than $150 million in support of communities across Canada. Made possible by Tim Hortons, local restaurant owners, dedicated staff, and community partners, every cookie sold contributes to programs that support children, youth, and families – with 100% of proceeds directed to charities from coast to coast.

Rose Cottage Visiting Volunteers is proud to be among the organizations that have benefited from this initiative.

🩷 Thank You, West Niagara! 🩷

Because of your incredible support during Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Week 2026, a total of $27,472.37 was raised for Rose Cottage Visiting Volunteers Community Hospice through Smile Cookie sales at the Beamsville and Vineland Tim Hortons locations.

Every cookie purchased helped support compassionate care, caregiver relief, and grief support services in our community.

Thank you to Tim Hortons, our volunteers, and everyone who bought a Smile Cookie and helped make a difference. Together, you turned smiles into support. 🩷🍪
