For the second year in a row, Co-op gas bars across the country have raised money for local charities and non-profits.
Fuel Good Day, which happened on September 18th this year, is an event where a minimum of five cents from every litre of fuel sold at participating Co-op gas bars is donated to a local charity or non-profit.
Between the Four Rivers Co-ops in Vanderhoof and Prince George, just over $2000 was raised for the Salvation Army.
Allan Bieganski, General Manager of the Four Rivers Co-op, said they felt very passionate about choosing the Salvation Army to receive the donations.
“They’re doing a wonderful job and they’re a welcome addition to our community so we just wanted to help them out.”
Across Canada, over $600,000 was raised from Fuel Good Day.
