The Barry’s Bay Tim Hortons exceeded their goal to sell 5,000 cookies during this year’s Smile Cookie Week from Sept. 19 to 25. In fact, a total of 6,794 cookies were sold, resulting in a $6,794 donation to St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation (SFVHF) for local healthcare. SFVHF raises money for its three partners, including St. Francis Memorial Hospital, Valley Manor and Madawaska Valley Hospice Palliative Care. This was the eighth year that the Barry’s Bay Tim Hortons has held Smile Cookie Week, and since 2015, a total of $45,479.00 has been raised for local healthcare (that’s 45,479 cookies!) Thank you to local Tim Hortons owners Jason and Olena Armstrong and staff, the more than 20 volunteers who decorated cookies, and everyone who supported the cause.
