Holiday Smile Cookie Fundraiser
We need help decorating Holiday Smile Cookies at each Tim Hortons location in Fort McMurray from November 30th to Dec 6th!
This volunteer position is for all four locations. Each shift is 2 hours and involves repetitive movements (putting an icing smile on many, many cookies). No cookie-decorating experience is required, but please make the best cookies you can; we need to see that they are smiley faces!
All volunteers MUST follow Tim Hortons staff instructions on safe food-handling guidelines. 100% of proceeds from cookies sold go towards Autism Society RMWB programs!
Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your shift so volunteers can receive proper instruction and hand off to the next shift. Just look for a Tim Hortons staff member when you arrive! If you can no longer make your shift, please contact us ASAP.
