SOUTHEAST SASK. — The Southern Plains Co-op is excited for the upcoming Fuel Good Day on Sept. 19 at their service stations in the southeast.
"For every litre of fuel we pump, we're giving back 10 cents to a charity or non-profit," the co-op said on its website. "It's like turning every pump into a mini celebration of giving."
Also, any size of the co-op's coffee will be available for a dollar, and all coffee sales will be donated.
Proceeds from the two service stations in Estevan will be directed to the First Estevan Rangers, which are part of Girl Guides of Canada. The money from the Oxbow location will go to the Expressway Family Centre. And the revenues from the service station in Carlyle are earmarked for the Carlyle Cubs Learning Centre.
Organizations can apply from mid-April to mid-May to benefit from Fuel Good Day. Once all applications have been checked for proper qualifications, the co-op selects an internal group of individuals to choose a local recipient for each location.
"At Southern Plains Co-op, we're all about being community-minded and making a local impact that's as strong as our coffee," the co-op said.
"With Fuel Good Day, we're cranking up the good vibes, fuelling up the community spirit, and brewing up a whole lot of positive change," the co-op said. "It's all about coming together, filling up, and feeling fantastic while making a real difference."
Last year's Fuel Good Day raised $6,430.06 for different organizations in the southeast.
