The Dawson Creek Fire Fighters Association and Tim Hortons have come together to raise $21,469.
The money was raised through this year’s Holiday Smile Cookie campaign.
Smile Cookies were sold for $2 each from November 12 to 23 at Tim Hortons locations in Dawson Creek.
The amount raised was split evenly between the Dawson Creek Fire Fighters Charitable Society and the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
“A huge thank you to our community for your generosity, kindness, and unwavering support,” the Dawson Creek Fire Fighters Association said.
It said the funding will help strengthen the community through many charitable initiatives, such as school reading programs and back-to-school support, Emergency financial help for families affected by fire, and Local food security efforts.
According to Tim Hortons, more than 600 local charities and organizations across the country are raising money through the Smile Cookie program this year.
