WHAT:	Toronto-based Tim Hortons restaurant owners are taking Tim Hortons' #WarmWishes social media campaign to heart, by donating 2,000 fleece blankets to Covenant House Toronto, Canada's largest homeless youth agency. The donated blankets will be used for a variety of Covenant House initiatives including the transitional housing program, the crisis shelter and for kids who access Covenant House's drop-in program.
	In addition to delivering boxes of blankets, the TimsRunner, Tim Hortons' mobile coffee truck will be distributing free Dark Roast coffee samples, to further spread #WarmWishes to Covenant House kids and passersby.
