The Guelph Food Bank has been chosen as the prime local charity to benefit from the local portion of the Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookie campaign, slated to run from Nov. 13 to 19.
"This couldn’t come at a better time when donations have slowed and the need for food bank use has more than doubled in only two short years due to the high cost of living," the Food Bank said in a news release.
Fifty per cent of the proceeds from each smile cookie sold locally will go to the Food Bank. Tim Hortons Camps will receive the other 50 per cent.
Guelph Storm players will help launch the event Monday at the Woolwich Street Tim Hortons, along with members of the Guelph Food Bank starting at 11 a.m.
