Cookie Monster caught blue-handed stealing Smile Cookies on first day of fundraiser

All proceeds from Tim Hortons Smile Cookies in Kirkland Lake will help Blanche River Health hospitals buy medical equipment, with local volunteers joining the effort.

  • The Inn of the Good Shepherd in Sarnia received all proceeds from Tim Hortons chocolate chunk cookies decorated with a pink smile, sold through Sunday at locations in Sarnia and Bright's Grove.
  • Executive Director Jack Christine noted the fundraiser arrives amid rising demand for foodbank, soup kitchen, and shelter services, coupled with declining donations to the organization.
  • Recently, the Inn achieved accreditation through Food Banks Canada's standards of excellence program covering more than 80 operational areas. Christine said the certification demonstrates the organization is "being accountable for all the services we're providing."
  • The charity seeks to exceed the over $71,000 raised in 2023, while the Inn services more than 2,000 individuals monthly, underscoring the scope of community need.
  • Staff and community volunteers decorated cookies throughout the week supporting the campaign, while the Inn maintains daily operations with foodbank services opening at 9 a.m. for those in need.
