On Fuel Good Day, five cents from every litre of fuel sold at participating Co-op gas bars is donated to a local charity or non-profit organization.
This year’s fundraiser produced record-breaking numbers for the local Co-op, raising $14,027. In addition to fuel-sale donations, the Co-op hosted barbecues at all four of its locations and contributed $2 from each car wash sold throughout the day.
