Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre Foundation has raised just over $64,000 through its Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign.

From April 28 to May 4, 100% of proceeds from every Smile Cookie sold at participating Tim Hortons locations in Cobourg and Colborne directly supported the care, comfort, and dignity provided by Ed’s House.

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Tim Hortons restaurant owners Jen and Brittany, along with Lisa and the entire Tims staff, volunteers, and every community member who supported Ed’s House by purchasing Smile Cookies,” said Trish Baird, CEO of Community Care Northumberland. “Your generosity helps ensure individuals and families in our community continue to receive the compassionate, high-quality hospice care they deserve.”

Throughout the week, Tim Hortons staff, along with Community Care Northumberland and Ed’s House staff and volunteers, rolled up their sleeves to hand-decorate cookies with bright pink and blue icing smiles and encouraged drive-thru guests to support hospice care in their community.
