Local Programs

Food Drive

Tim Hortons store owners and customers are helping to make a difference by donating bins with non-perishable food items in support of the Tim Hortons Food Drive. Simply drop off your donations at your local participating Tim Hortons. It's a helpful way to make a difference in our community. Please contact your local store to confirm program timing in your area.

Free Skating

Every holiday season in December and January, as well as in March, Tim Hortons sponsors free public skating at over 350 arenas across Canada. This is a great opportunity for families to enjoy some quality time together during the holidays.

Remembrance Day

On November 11, the past and the present are one across our land. It's a unity expressed in the poppies we wear to honour the brave Canadians who served their country, both then and now. This Remembrance Day, Tim Hortons encourages you to reflect on all they've given and to wear a poppy.

Together, we can show our veterans we remember them. Then, now, and forever.

Poppies are available at Tim Hortons stores across Canada.

Buy a Cookie. Help Make a Difference.

When you buy a Smile Cookie, you can help make a difference. This unique program raises funds for local charities across Canada and the US. For a limited time, buy these chocolate chunk Smile Cookies, and the entire proceeds will go towards helping charities in your community.

Enjoy them while you can, because they're only available from September 21st to September 27th, 2009.

Timbits Minor Sports Program

The Timbits Minor Sports Program is a community-oriented sponsorship program for children four to eight years old who participate in local house league sports teams. The program's philosophy is not based on winning or losing - but on learning a new sport, making new friends, and just taking time out to be a kid.

Tim Hortons currently sponsors over 200,000 children who play on hockey, soccer, lacrosse, t-ball, baseball and ringette teams across Canada and in the United States. Each sponsored team is supplied with Timbits Minor Sports jerseys or T-shirts. Timbits hockey teams are often given the opportunity to play on-ice scrimmages during intermissions at Junior, American Hockey League (AHL) and National Hockey League (NHL) games. Timbits players are also given the opportunity to play in their own "Timbits Jamboree", a fun-filled Tim Hortons sponsored event where everyone receives a prize, food and beverages.

Community Clean Up

Tim Hortons is proud to sponsor and support several community clean-up events across Canada.  As part of many spring environmental activities and events leading up to and beyond Earth Day, Tim Hortons assists local clean-up programs by providing t-shirts, gloves, bags, product and promotion.  Some major community Clean-up Programs include, the 20 Minute Makeover in the Greater Toronto Area and the Great Nova Scotia Pick-Me Up Program.

Earn-a-Bike Program

The Tim Hortons Earn-a-Bike program is a community-oriented sponsorship program where children between 10 and 14 years old team up with community partners to help clean up their local streets, parks and schools. Each participant completes 30 hours of community service and is rewarded with their very own Tim Hortons Minelli-Leader mountain bike and Bell helmet, courtesy of their local Tim Hortons store owner. Children are selected from organizations such as Big Brothers and Big Sisters and by their local police department who also co-ordinate the program and provide supervision while the kids are out doing their part to make their community a cleaner, brighter place to live.

Free Swimming

Every summer and March Break, Tim Hortons sponsors free swimming times at community pools. This is a great opportunity for families to enjoy some quality time together during the holidays.
