Smile Cookie Campaign helps BBBS send kids to camp

Staff at Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Sarnia-Lambton are beaming with joy this week.

The organization is the beneficiary of $22,210.50 from the Tim Hortons holiday smile cookie campaign.

Another $22,210.50 will support Tim Hortons Foundation camps.

In a Facebook post, BBBS said it's grateful for the support from the Sarnia and Bright's Grove restaurants.

The money will impact the lives of over 750 youth who access the mentoring services each year.

BBBS said the Tim Hortons Foundation is near and dear to its heart, and gives the children great experiences over the summer.

The Petrolia and North Enniskillen Fire Department will benefit from the campaign at the Tim Hortons in Petrolia.

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

In Watford, the fundraiser will support the Watford Food Bank and in Forest the Contact House Food Bank will benefit from the campaign.
