Fueling Up For Charity

Beneficiaries sought for Fuel Good Day 2026

Apr 16, 2026 | 11:33 AM

Armstrong Regional Co-op is once again ready to help local groups with a funding boost.

The company (ARC) is running its Fuel Good Day on September 15, which will see 10 cents from every litre of fuel sold at participating stations go to support a local non-profit or charity.

Each market with an ARC station will be selecting and supporting one local non-profit or charity, and the application process to become one of those beneficiaries opened Thursday, April 16. Organizations wishing to take advantage of this program can apply online here until May 22.

The organizations selected as the recipients will be encouraged to be on site at their partner station on Fuel Good Day to hand out information packets and answer questions from the public. Fuel Good Day will also see people entered into draws and giveaways.

There are two ARC stations in Vernon and four others across the Interior participating in Fuel Good Day.
