Locally, Matthews House Hospice and the Stevenson Memorial Hospital were the recipients of this year’s funds raised during the campaign.

In Alliston, Tim Hortons restaurant owners John and Meagen Lewandowski, and Amit and Rachana Seth raised $41,502.68 from the 2025 Smile Cookie campaign.

Matthews House Hospice Foundation and the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation were each gifted $20,751.34.

“We’re so grateful for the outpouring of support for this year’s Smile Cookie campaign from Tims guests across Canada. Thanks to your incredible generosity we topped our previous Smile Cookie record,” says Tim Hortons President Axel Schwan. “A huge thanks to every single Tim Hortons restaurant owner, team member and volunteer who collectively helped to bake and hand-decorate millions and millions of cookies. Your dedication and enthusiasm represents the kind of deep care for our local communities that Canadians can rely on from Tim Hortons.”
