CHILLIWACK — It’s tough to resist delicious chocolate chunk cookies at a reasonable price point, especially when they benefit Chilliwack General Hospital as well as Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope.

The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation says its upcoming Smile Cookie Week initiative, in partnership with Tim Hortons restaurant owners, has raised over $59,000 for these two local hospitals over the past three years.

Smile Cookie Week kicks off on Monday, May 1. Chocolate chunk cookies will be transformed into Smile Cookies, hand-decorated treats that raise money for local charities across the country, including the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF) and heath care in Chilliwack and Hope. Over the past three years, cookie-craving residents and local Tim Horton restaurant owners have raised over $59,279 for local hospitals.

From May 1-7, the iconic chocolate chunk cookies topped with pink and blue icing smile will be available at every Tim Hortons restaurant across Chilliwack and Hope for $1.50 each, with proceeds from each cookie benefitting local hospitals.

“We are ecstatic that the local Tim Hortons owners have again chosen to support the hospitals in Chilliwack and Hope,” explained Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation executive director Liz Harris. “The response from the community over the last two years has been outstanding and we hope to help increase this year’s campaign.”
