Local Tim Hortons owners revealed the fundraising number to Community Care staff at the Hunter Street Tim Hortons location on Thursday morning.
The campaign ran from April 29 to May 5 with all Peterborough Tim Hortons participating and locations in Curve Lake First Nation, Lakefield, Havelock and Bridgenorth.
“This is fantastic news,” said Danielle Belair, Community Care CEO. “This was truly a successful event. We couldn't have done it without all of our volunteers and with the support of the all communities in the County of Peterborough and also all of the owners of the Tim Hortons.”
The proceeds will help the Meals on Wheels program that supplies meals to seniors with disabilities who cannot cook/shop for themselves or are discharged from a hospital with limited/no help available during their recovery.
“The funds will go a long way in supporting Community Care Peterborough’s programs and services that empower seniors and adults with physical challenges, helping them to remain happy and healthy in their own homes” said Belair. “As a not-for-profit agency we rely on support from our community to keep up with the high demand for our services.”
