Filling up your tank at an event this month will fuel the efforts of local charities.

The Armstrong Regional Co-op (ARC) will hold its annual Fuel Good Day on Tuesday., Sept. 20 at its three gas bars in the North Okanagan and Salmon Arm.

Ten cents from every litre of fuel sold at the ARC stations will be donated to local non-profits and charities. That includes all grades of gasoline and diesel fuel.

Each gas bar location will be supporting a different local non-profit or charity.
