An incredible $10,776 was raised through the sale of cookies during Smile Cookie Week, which ran from April 29 to May 5, 2024. Barry’s Bay Tim Hortons chose St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation (SFVHF) as the beneficiary of Smile Cookie Week with funds to be directed to local healthcare needs. The Foundation raises funds for Madawaska Valley Hospice Palliative Care (MVHPC), St. Francis Memorial Hospital (SFMH) and Valley Manor (VM). SFVHF sends a heartfelt thank you to the owners, staff, volunteers and, of course patrons, who supported this fundraiser!
