Holiday Smile Cookie campaign to support local youth

The folks at Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Sarnia-Lambton are all smiles this week.

Money raised from this year's Holiday Smile Cookie campaign at local participating Tim Hortons' restaurants will benefit the non-profit organization.

The proceeds will go directly toward the group and one-on-one mentoring programs supporting area youth.

The Big Brothers/Big Sisters website said the one-on-one relationships allow youth an outlet, a voice and opportunity to have experiences they would not have otherwise.

"Our mentors provide our local youth with strong supports in mentorship to allow them to thrive in school, home and society as a whole," read the website.

Last year's inaugural holiday campaign raised over $39,200 for local nutrition programs and summer camps.

Lambton County Developmental Services will benefit from the campaign underway at Tim Hortons in Petrolia.

In Corunna, funds will go towards the foodbank at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, while Lambton Elderly Outreach will receive money raised in Wyoming.

The sweet treats will be available at participating restaurants until Sunday, November 24.
