Fuel Good Day raises $566K in 2020

While the festivities looked a little different than in previous years, the spirit around Fuel Good Day on Sept. 15 was as bright as always.

This year’s event was a resounding success raising more than $566,000 for local charities and non-profit organizations across Western Canada. With the challenges facing many individuals and organizations this year, the efforts by our Co-op members and customers to support this year’s Fuel Good Day are even more significant.

Thanks to your support, we’re able to support more than 185 organizations in our communities this year. This year’s donations will fund a wide range of organizations, including first responders, health foundations and recreation groups.

During Fuel Good Day, Co-op donates a minimum of five cents from every litre of fuel sold at participating Co-op Gas Bars with select locations also donating $1 from the purchase of every Co-operative Coffee or Big Cool.

Last year, Co-op members and customers across Western Canada raised more than $685,000 in a single day at more than 400 participating Co-op Gas Bars. As an annual event since 2017, Fuel Good Day has raised $2.4 million with more than 600 recipient organizations.
