Tim Hortons second-annual Holiday Smile Cookie campaign is returning from Nov. 18 to 24 with 100 per cent of proceeds donated to local charities and community groups, including Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
Last year, Tims guests helped raise $9.8 million through the inaugural Holiday Smile Cookie campaign. The Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookie is a delicious white chocolate sugar cookie infused with red and green sprinkles and hand-decorated with a white icing smile face.
This year, we’re very proud to announce that Archway Society for Domestic Peace has been selected as a recipient of Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookie fundraiser! From Nov. 18 to 24, 100 per cent of proceeds from each Holiday Smile Cookie sold at a Vernon or Lumby Tim Hortons will help to support Archway Society and Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
Unfortunately, violence against women is far more common than we realize— two in five Canadian women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. Many may not know that a friend, neighbour or coworker could be affected by domestic violence, as 80 per cent of intimate partner violence cases continue to go unreported.
While many communities across Canada are experiencing a significant spike in intimate partner violence since 2020, shelters across the country lack adequate funds to support the high number of women and children escaping domestic violence.
The number of women and children served by our Transition House increased 62% since the last fiscal year. 226 women were served for a total of 3056 night stays, with 113 children served for a total of 2240 night stays.
Organizations like Archway Society for Domestic Peace help women who experience intimate partner violence, providing life-saving services such as safe shelter (transition house program), counselling, Justice advocacy, child and youth advocacy, outreach services, and collaborative community projects. Our agency is invaluable in the community, providing support and counselling through 18 programs across 6 locations in the North Okanagan, designed to assist women, children and families in need.
