CHILLIWACK — Besides the need to satisfy your sweet tooth, and its reasonable price point of only $1.50 apiece, there’s another good reason to take a bite out of a Smile Cookie at six Chilliwack-area Tim Hortons starting next week.

According to the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation, over $90,000 has been raised for Fraser Valley hospitals in just four years alone.

Starting Monday, April 29 and running through to Sunday, May 5, Tim Hortons is turning their delicious chocolate chunk cookies into adorable treats that help spread joy and raise funds for the hospitals in Chilliwack and Hope.

“Yep, your friendly neighborhood Tim Horton owners are back at it, supporting the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF) and healthcare in Chilliwack and Hope,” the FVHCF wrote in a news release Thursday (Apr. 25). “In the past four years, thanks to cookie-loving folks like you and the generosity of local Tim Hortons, we’ve managed to raise over $92,131 for our local hospitals. How sweet is that?”

The chocolate chunk delights are decked out with pink and blue icing smiles. Better yet, every penny from each cookie sold goes straight to supporting our hospitals.

Liz Harris, executive Director of the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation, says the community’s response has been amazing in the past few years and is hoping to make this year’s campaign even bigger and better. “With your help, we can do it!” Harris said.

So, where do the funds go? Harris said the foundation has its sights set on equipment needs at Chilliwack General Hospital and Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope.

“This year, we’re focusing on getting the best equipment for our hospitals,” Harris said. “We’re talking about some greatly needed equipment for Maternity at Chilliwack General Hospital and getting an ECG Machine for Fraser Canyon Hospital. Every cookie you buy brings us one step closer to making these dreams a reality”.
