TORONTO — Tim Hortons restaurants across Alberta will be offering guests a fundraising doughnut until August 18 for $2 with 100 per cent of the proceeds, excluding taxes, being donated to the Canadian Red Cross 2024 Alberta Wildfires Appeal.
“Local Tim Hortons restaurant owners have been donating food and beverages to first responders and evacuation centres since the heartbreaking wildfires first broke out in Jasper, and right across Alberta, Tims owners have wanted to lend their support,” says Jason Gash, general manager of Western Canada for Tim Hortons. “The Tim Hortons brand has always been rooted in supporting communities and we’re so proud of how guests rally with us during our charitable campaigns so we can support important causes together.”
“We’re grateful for the generosity of Tim Hortons and its customers,” says Amy Avis, Chief of Emergencies, Canadian Red Cross. “The needs of the people impacted by the wildfires that destroyed many parts of the Jasper area will continue to emerge in the weeks and months ahead. The Red Cross is committed to working with the community of Jasper, Indigenous leadership and all levels of government to help individuals and families as they recover.”
