The Dauphin Co-op is celebrating Co-op Week this week.
As part of the week, they announced the Cup of Caring Program. Cup of Caring offers free coffee to any emergency responder, in uniform, that stops by the Co-op Gas Bars.
Joan Chetyrbok, the marketing manager for the Dauphin Co-op, says the program is an easy way to say thanks to the men and women that work as emergency responders in our community.
“It’s just a small gesture to say thank you to our heroes in uniform that get up every day and go to work, no matter the weather conditions, no matter the circumstances,” said Chetyrbok. “They’re out there helping citizens, and our communities that we love and call home.”
The Co-op also presented Whitmore School with a cheque from the proceeds from last month’s Fuel Good Day.
56,003 litres of fuel were sold that day, which resulted in $5,600 being donated to the school’s playground project.
There were barbecues at both gas bar locations that day that raised $1,475, with the Whitmore Parent Council adding another $1,000 resulting in a donation of $2, 475 for Whitmore’s Breakfast Program.
Chetyrbok added that the Co-op was thrilled to be a part of both of these projects.
