Cup of Good Deeds visited six
communities to spread even more warmth and cheer
OAKVILLE, ON, Nov. 30, 2016 /CNW/ - Today, Tim Hortons released its annual #WarmWishes
video, capturing the surprise and delight of more than 150
deserving Canadians from across the country. Unsuspecting Guests
from six communities received kind wishes, nominated on their
behalf by friends, family and neighbours during one day on
November 16. Since the launch of the
campaign three years ago, 2016 marks
the biggest year yet for #WarmWishes, building upon last year's
transformation of a restaurant in Grimsby, Ontario to a House of Warm
Wishes.
Requests as small, but meaningful, as delivering hot chocolate
and Timbits® for nurses, raking leaves for a neighbour and giving
flowers to a partner were submitted in the Cup of Good Deeds and
fulfilled by Tim Hortons staff.
Additional deeds like providing food and supplies to animal
shelters, donating baby formula and diapers to a pregnancy centre,
and delivering books to a school library, among many others, helped
communities come together.
"We know Canadians want to give back during the holiday season,
but they may not always have the time or resources to do so," says
Sami Siddiqui, President,
Tim Hortons Canada. "We feel that's
why this campaign continues to grow year after year. This is our
small way of celebrating Canadians giving back and making this a
season of warm wishes."
The latest #WarmWishes video, filmed simultaneously across the
country in Moncton, Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Calgary and Vancouver, beautifully captures the Canadian
spirit. The video showcases the generosity of Tim Hortons Guests by
sharing stories and good deeds they requested for deserving
individuals in their communities this holiday season. Check out the
video by clicking here.
Guests still hoping to participate in this year's #WarmWishes
campaign have until December 14, 2016
to submit their good deed request via social media. Using
