Caledon residents will soon be able to buy cookies for a cause.

From November 18 to 24, local non-profit Cassie’s Place will benefit from the sales of Holiday Smile Cookies at local Tim Hortons restaurants.

Cassie’s Place is a home away from home for individuals with differing abilities and offers a wide range of programs and services to its participants.

Cassie’s Place volunteer Joe Sassine said he’s thrilled Cassie’s Place has been chosen to benefit from the Holiday Smile Cookie campaign this year.

“This incredible opportunity has been made possible through the generous support of Tim Hortons and local restaurant owners in Caledon,” said Sassine. “Their commitment reflects the strength of community collaboration and we are immensely grateful for their support.”

During the campaign, 50 per cent of the proceeds from cookie sales will be donated to Cassie’s Place and the other 50 per cent will go to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

Local dignitaries kicked off this year’s Holiday Smile Cookie campaign at a cookie decorating event with Cassie’s Place participants on November 13.

Ward 4 Councillor Nick de Boer, Ward 5 Councillor Tony Rosa, Regional Councillor Mario Russo, and Mayor Annette Groves all attended the event, which was held at the 12596 Highway 50 Tim Hortons.

“Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our wonderful community. We look forward to your participation and to sharing smiles with you during the Holiday Smile Cookie campaign,” said Sassine.

The Tim Hortons locations participating in the campaign in Caledon are as follows: Highway 10 and Charleston Sideroad; Airport and Mayfield roads; and the two Tim Hortons’ on Highway 50 in Bolton.
