Co-op Fuel Good Day raised thousands of dollars across co-op gas bar locations in the southeast.
The total for the day came to $5,981.
On Sept. 21, when customers filled up their tanks at co-op gas bars in Estevan, Federated Co-op donated five cents per litre of fuel purchased to a local charity. Southern Plains Co-op added another five cents per litre, plus all the proceeds from any size $1 coffee sold in all of their C-stores throughout the day also were donated to the recipient.
The Estevan total came to $2,989.40, which will be donated to Limitless Disability Advocacy Services Inc., a local advocacy group for people with disabilities.
Similar events were happening at the Co-op’s Carlyle and Oxbow gas bar locations. Carlyle raised $1,945.60. Proceeds from Carlyle will go to the Southeast Regional Victims Services.
Oxbow donations came to $1,046, which will be donated to Bow Valley Villa.
“We can't thank you enough for making this day another successful day for our community,” said Southern Plains Co-op Ltd. on their Facebook page.
