Today is Co-op's Fuel Good Day.
The Dauphin Co-op will donate 10¢ per litre of gasoline or diesel sold at the Main Street or Mountain Road Gas Bar to the Bridge Youth Drop-in Centre in Ochre River. The Gilbert Plains Co-op Gas Bar is also taking part and will donate proceeds to the Gilbert Plains Drop-in Senior Centre.
In addition, there will be fundraiser barbecues from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at both the Dauphin Gas Bars with all proceeds going to the Drop-in Centre as well.
Joan Chetyrbok, marketing and community relations manager at the Dauphin Co-op, says that she expects to have a great turnout.
"The community is amazing supporting organizations that are trying to do good... It's an amazing community," she adds.
According to the Dauphin Co-op, the Bridge Youth Drop-in Centre provides local youth with a place to go after school to learn new skills and gain experiences.
“The funds raised during Fuel Good Day will help with programming and building maintenance so we can better serve our youth and the Ochre River community,” Keith DeVries, volunteer at the Youth Drop-in Centre, adds.
Chetyrbok says that they will be serving hotdogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, drinks, and some snacks at the barbecues.
