As part of Fuel Good Day on Sept. 19, five cents from every litre of fuel purchased at Ste. Anne Co-op Gas Bars was donated to Recreation Opportunities for Children, Eastman.

At the end of the day, Co-op members and customers helped raise over $8,400 for the organization that creates brighter futures for children in need and their families by giving them access to the recreation activities that drive their passions.

“Ste. Anne Co-op is committed to serving the community and giving back, not just on this day but throughout the year,” said Henry Nickel, General Manager of Ste. Anne Co-op. “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.”

Fuel Good Day was celebrated at more than 380 Co-op Gas Bars across Western Canada, each supporting a selected local charitable or non-profit organization or initiative. The combined result from across Western Canada will be released later in October.
