A Change Of Taste Made By Many Voices!

*Update To, "A Cup Of Coffee Guaranteed To Leave A Bitter Taste"

Tim Hortons

Tim Hortons responds to inquiries about Rhode Island event sponsorship

"Recently, Tim Hortons was approached in Rhode Island to provide free coffee and products for a local event, as we do thousands of times a year across Canada and the United States.

For 45 years, Tim Hortons and its store owners have practiced a philosophy of giving back to the communities in which we operate. As a company, our primary focus is on helping children and supporting fundraising events for non-profit organizations and registered charities.

For this reason, Tim Hortons has not sponsored those representing religious groups, political affiliates or lobby groups.

It has come to our attention that the Rhode Island event organizer and purpose of the event fall outside of our sponsorship guidelines. As such, Tim Hortons can not provide support at the event.

Tim Hortons and its store owners have always welcomed all families and communities to its restaurants and will continue to do so. We apologize for any misunderstanding or inconvenience this may have caused."

Thank you to all who took a stand against hate, intolerance and inequality by sending a loud and clear message to Tim Hortons that not only is it wrong to support these anti family groups, it also makes bad business sense...

Standing up (ok, sitting down) for our rights!

Keep a smile on your face and love in your heart!
