The annual fundraiser for Lloydminster public and Catholic School Division breakfast programs will be on Tuesday, Sept. 16. Five cents from each litre of fuel sold will support the programs.
“Fuel Good Day is such a special event and we are proud to partner with our local schools to make it happen,” said Tess Wack, Co-op’s director of marketing and community relations. “Our mission is Members Together Growing Community, and this program truly brings that to life — coming together to support and strengthen our community.”
“Fuel Good Day is such a powerful way for our community to support students,” said Jason Neville, Lloydminster Public School Division director of education.
“Every litre of fuel purchased on Tuesday, Sept. 16 helps us provide breakfast programs that ensure children start their day nourished and ready to learn. We’re grateful to the Co-op for their partnership and encourage everyone to head to the pumps and be part of this positive impact.”
The day will also feature charity barbecues at all gas bar locations from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to support rural school breakfast programs.
“Fuel Good Day shows the incredible impact a community can have when we come together. Good food fuels not only learning but also belonging, and with the support of Co-op and YOU, our students are given the nourishment they need to thrive,” said Lloydminster Catholic School Division director of education Glenda Kary.
“This is more than breakfast, it’s the power of community care at work. So, don’t forget to fuel up your tank on Fuel Good Day — because when you fill your tank, you’re also filling minds.”
In need of a car wash? The Co-op’s Southview (south on Highway 17) and Ironwells (east on Highway 16) locations will be donated $2 from each carwash sold on the day.
