Fueling up is good for the soul

You can fuel up and literally feel good in giving back.

Lloydminster and District Co-op’s Fuel Good Day is on Tuesday, September 16, turning every litre of fuel into support for local students through school feeding programs.

The annual event raises funds for school breakfast programs in both the Lloydminster Public School Division and Lloydminster Catholic School Division, helping ensure kids start their day nourished and ready to learn.

For every litre of fuel sold at Co-op gas bars, five cents is donated to the breakfast programs. Also, $2 from every car wash at the Southview and Ironwells locations goes to the cause.

The day also features charity barbecues from 4-7:00 p.m. at all Co-op gas bar locations.

These will be hosted by schools including Hillmond, Neilburg, Kitscoty, and Marwayne in support of their programs.

Free coffee will be served during the morning and evening rush, and limited-edition Fuel Good Day donuts and cookie slices will add a sweet touch.

School officials are welcoming the Lloyd Co-op support.

“Fuel Good Day is such a powerful way for our community to support students,” says Jason Neville, LPSD Director of Education. “Every litre of fuel purchased on Tuesday, September 16th helps us provide breakfast programs that ensure children start their day nourished and ready to learn. We’re grateful to the Co-op for their partnership and encourage everyone to head to the pumps and be part of this positive impact.”

His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
