The Tim Horton’s Smile Cookie campaign generated more than $17,000 for Parry Sound’s two food banks.
Harvest Share and The Parry Sound Salvation Army will each receive over $8,500 to help combat food insecurity in the region.
Harvest Share officials say they served nearly 800 people over the first three months of the year – a 14 per cent increase over last year – and that the local need continues to grow.
