Save the date and drive until you’re running on fumes; the Lloydminster and District Co-op’s Fuel Good Day is right around the corner.
This Tuesday, five cents from each litre of fuel sold at all four Co-op gas bar locations will support the Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD) and Lloydminster Catholic School Division (LCSD) school breakfast programs.
“This is our seventh Fuel Good Day in Lloydminster and area, and together, we’ve raised almost $50,000 for both city and rural school breakfast programs,” said Peter Brown, CEO of Lloydminster and District Co-op.
“Fuel Good Day is a shining example of co-operatives in action and uniting our community for a meaningful cause. We’re thrilled to share the much-loved rural school BBQs are back again at all four Lloyd Co-op gas bars as part of this year’s Fuel Good Day.”
Co-op gas bar locations can be found at 18 Street Crossing, Highway 17 South, Ironwells gas bar on Highway 16 East, Hampton Square gas bar on Highway 16 West, and the newest gas bar: North Stop on Highway 17 North.
“Fuel Good should make us all feel good about living in the City of Lloydminster,” said LCSD director of education, Nigel McCarthy.
“All across town, people will line up at the pumps to support students having a great lunch. We can pick up supper at the Coop burger barbeque and support a child’s breakfast. Just by filling our tank, we can support the future of our City by being there for children. I can’t wait to fuel – up on Co-op Fuel Good Day.”
“By Fueling up at Co-op gas bars on Tuesday, our community can help fuel our students,” added Jason Neville, director of education, LPSD.”
“LPSD is incredibly grateful for this community fundraiser; all funds raised help students have the nourishment they need to be ready to learn.”
Tuesday’s fundraiser runs from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Free coffee will be available at all four locations from 5:30 – 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. There will also be limited edition Fuel Good Day donuts, cookie slices, and a charity BBQ by rural schools (Hillmond, Neilburg, Kitscoty, and Marwayne) from 4 to 7 p.m. at each site.
