The Town of Morris has announced that the popular Smile Cookie Campaign is returning to the community this spring.
Running from April 27 to May 3, 2026, the fundraiser coincides with the national Smile Cookie Week, which this year celebrates its 30th anniversary. During this period, the local Tim Hortons will sell cookies, with every cent from the sales going directly to local charities and community groups.
The Morris location is owned by Rupesh Patel, who is responsible for selecting the local organizations that will benefit from the campaign proceeds. Historically, this initiative has provided significant financial support to various projects in town. Recent beneficiaries have included the Willow Park Project, which received over $20,000 in 2024 to build a picnic shelter, and Morris School, which saw over $12,000 raised later that same year for playground improvements.
Since the campaign began in 1996, it has raised more than $130 million for community initiatives across Canada and the United States. Residents can expect further details regarding this year’s specific local beneficiaries as the campaign gets underway.
