Several local organizations will benefit from the annual Fuel Good Day.

On Tuesday, Sept. 16, a portion of fuel sales at Armstrong Regional Co-op locations was collected and donated to local groups.

In Vernon, a total of $5,242 was raised in support of Cops for Kids – the charity that supports youth and children who have experienced a medical, physical, or traumatic crisis.

Another $2,346 was raised from sales in Armstrong in support of the North Okanagan Minor Hockey Association.

Additionally, the day raised $4,412 for the Salmon Arm Legion, and another $1,473 was collected for the BGC Cranbrook from sales in those communities.
