Tim Hortons locations in South Okanagan are gearing up to participate in the annual Orange Sprinkle Donut campaign, which supports Indigenous communities.
On September 30, in honor of Truth and Reconciliation Day, participating Tim Hortons restaurants will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of special orange donuts to several Indigenous organizations. These include the Orange Shirt Society, the Indian Residential School Survivors Society, New Pathways Foundation in Quebec, and two new beneficiaries this year: the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund and the Ulnooweg Education Centre.
Nicole MacMillan, a local Tim Hortons owner and operator, expressed enthusiasm for the initiative. “We are thrilled to continue this important campaign,” she said. “Our communities have consistently come together in overwhelming support of these causes. This is not just a fundraiser; it’s an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation and promote reconciliation.”
The Orange Sprinkle Donut campaign was first launched in 2021 by a group of Indigenous Tim Hortons restaurant owners.
Since then, it has raised over $3.6 million for Indigenous organizations across Canada.
Last year alone, the campaign raised more than $1 million, demonstrating strong community support. The Orange Shirt Society has emphasized how crucial this support is for their programs aimed at helping survivors of residential schools.
As Tim Hortons continues its commitment to reconciliation, the Orange Sprinkle Donut campaign serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting Indigenous communities and fostering dialogue around these critical issues.
