Gassing Up for a Good Cause

Fuel Good Day to go in mid-September, support local organizations

Sep 4, 2024 | 5:00 AM

People filling up at Armstrong Regional Cooperative stations will be able to help out some local organizations.

The ARC’s Fuel Good Day will go on September 17, during which 10 cents for every litre of fuel sold at the Co-op gas bars will go to support local organizations and charities that operate in the communities. The money raised through the sale of all grades of gasoline as well as diesel fuel will go to support specific organizations in communities.

• Vernon Co-op gas bars will support the North Okanagan Neurological Association (NONA)
• Armstrong Co-op gas bar will support local Girl Guides
• Salmon Arm Co-op gas bars will support the Shuswap Area Family Emergency (SAFE) Society
• The Cranbrook Co-op gas bar will support the Kin Club of Cranbrook

“Once again, Co-op Fuel Good Day is providing the opportunity for us to work together with our members and customers for the benefit of our community,” Jason Keis, marketing and community relations manager with the Armstrong Regional Cooperative, stated.

“The Armstrong Regional Cooperative is committed to serving the community and giving back, not just on this day but throughout the year. Fuel Good Day is one of many ways we fuel our communities, whether it’s by sharing profits with our members or supporting local organizations that are doing important work right here in our own backyard.”
