Zeph,Timmies has something similar, I just got this from their facebook page

For those unaware, Tim Hortons helped established a restaurant in Kandahar in 2006 at the request of the Canadian military. We have supported soldiers for many years, with coffee donations to forces in Kuwait, an annual coffee donation through Operation Santa Claus, and on July 1, with free coffee and donuts at the Kandahar base store. This past spring, Tim Hortons provided 60,000 special-edition Roll Up the Rim cups just for the Kandahar store and gave away computers and cash.
If you want to also support military overseas, here's how:
The Canadian Forces Personnel and Family Support Services (CFPFSS) is a department within the Canadian military that accepts donations for various military family trust funds. The CFPFSS also accepts Tim Cards and will distribute them to the soldiers in Afghanistan. Donations or Tim Cards can be sent to:
Military Families Fund
Canadian Forces Personnel and Family Support Services (CFPFSS)
4210 Labelle Street
Ottawa, ON
K1A 0K2
Or by phone by calling 1-877-445-6444 ;
Or online http://www.cfpsa.com/en/corporate/mfamily/donate_e.asp
In addition, you can donate to the Royal Canadian Legion's Troop Morale Fund, which helps buy every military person in Kandahar a Tim Hortons coffee and a donut at least every two weeks. For more information, go to: http://www.legion.ca/\Features\TMF_e.cfm
ITs a shame it doesnt cross borders as Ive tried for the US chaps and gals too, but hey I think they deserve TImmies!!!!
