Mississauga residents still love their cookies…and that is great news for Community Living Mississauga and Food Banks Mississauga! The 2025 Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign raised a record-breaking $22.6 million across Canada. In Mississauga, proceeds from local Tim Hortons restaurants across the city are being split equally between joint recipients, Community Living Mississauga and Food Banks Mississauga, who will each receive $117,542.41
Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign has now donated more than $1,040,000 to unfunded programs at Community Living Mississauga. These programs focus on supporting children, youth and teens who have an intellectual disability to participate in community-based recreational activities, summer camps and volunteer opportunities.
“Community Living Mississauga is very fortunate to have such a longstanding relationship with Tim Hortons owners across our city,” said Keith Tansley, Executive Director at Community Living Mississauga. “We want to say thanks to them, as well as everyone who bought Smile Cookies, on behalf of the hundreds of children and youth who have an intellectual disability who have been able to connect with their community through our summer recreational programs thanks to the funds raised by this campaign.”
The recipient charities for local proceeds for the annual campaign were selected by the owners of the Tim Hortons restaurants and, once again this year, Food Banks Mississauga is also a recipient charity of the funds from the Smile Cookies sold in Mississauga.
“Thank you to Tim Hortons Restaurant Owners of Mississauga and our community for supporting neighbours in need through this year’s Smile Cookie campaign. The funds you raised will help provide healthy food for over 117,000 meals,” says Juanita Moore, COO of Food Banks Mississauga. “We, alongside our network of over 60 food programs across Mississauga, are bracing for how economic uncertainty will impact the number of food bank visitors we serve and by supporting us through the Smile Cookie campaign, you are helping the over 56,000 neighbours who already rely on us for food support.”
