Your daily coffee, or five coffees, could make a huge impact today.
Today is Camp Day at Tim Hortons, an annual fundraiser that raises money for Tim Hortons Foundation Camps to help the lives of disadvantaged youth across Canada.
All proceeds from every coffee purchased at participating Tim Hortons will be donated to the cause.
Customers can also donate $2 to receive a limited-edition red, blue, green or orange Camp Day bracelet.
"Camp Day is as much a part of Tim Hortons as our Double Double is,” said Alex Macedo, president of Tim hortons.
“In 2018, our guests helped us donate more than $13.1 million on Camp Day and this year I hope we can exceed this to help even more youth change their stories."
There are seven Tims Camps in North America that run year-round programs to support youth between the ages of 12 to 16 from low income homes.
These camps team skills like leadership, resilience and responsibility, which empower them to believe their own potential and change their stories for the better.
Since 1974, when the Tim Hortons Foundation was founded by Ron Joyce, around 275,000 youth have been given a chance to change their future thanks to the support of Tim Hortons customers.
