Tim Hortons

Coffee Partnership
Tim Hortons Coffee Partnership improves the small-scale coffee farms where Tim Hortons sources their coffee from. From the launch in 2005 to date, they've helped 4.000 farmers and have influenced the lives of thousands throughout communities in Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, and Honduras. Tim Hortons does this sustainably, by improving the economic, social and environmental aspects of the farmer's own business.
Foundation Camps
A non-profit, leadership development organization that supports kids from disadvantaged circumstances. Through a multi-year, camp-based program, youth are empowered to change their stories for the better and to break the boundaries of poverty.
Timbits Minor Sports Program
A program that provides opportunities for kids in the community to play house league sports including hockey, soccer, ringette, lacrosse, softball and baseball. Tim Hortons currently supports more than 300,000 children on various leagues in Canada and the United States.
Both of the companies focus on the welfare of the farmers.

McDonalds

Canada Helps: Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Fund
n November, McDonald’s Canada pledged $50,000 to Canada Helps: Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Fund, including more than 40 Indigenous-led charities from across Canada. These organizations have a range of focus, from social services, arts and culture to health and well-being.
Fries for Good
In May, McDonald’s Canada announced Fries For Good. This initiative not only provided an opportunity to rally Canadians to help support individuals and families across the country who need it most, but it also showcased McDonald’s unwavering support for Canadian potato farmers. Canadians’ love of our World Famous Fries raised over $1.1M for the Canadian Red Cross.
Canada Helps: Black Solidarity Fund
McDonalds raised $100000 recently for the Black Canadians in our communities to fight against prejudice, intolerance, injustice and to support charities.
