We are celebrating our 10th Anniversary of Fuel Good Day on Tuesday, September 15! Feel good when you fuel up at the Main Street or Mountain Road Co-op Gas Bar locations on Fuel Good Day. Dauphin Co-op will donate 10¢ per litre sold to Dauphin Friendship Centre for the Food for Thought Program!

For nearly 37 years, the Dauphin Friendship Centre's Food for Thought program has been helping make sure local children has access to a nutritious lunch during the school day. Food for Thought serves all seven schools in Dauphin, and every student enrolled in school is eligible to register for the program at no cost to their family. Nearly 1,000 students are registered, with an average of approximately 900 lunches prepared and delivered.

"At an average cost of $4 per meal, providing this service takes significant resources and strong community support. Every donation to Food for Thought helps us purchase food, prepare nutritious meals, and continue a program that has been part of our community for generations. When we feed a child today, we're helping them learn, grow, and succeed tomorrow." said Crystal Amyotte, Executive Director, Dauphin Friendship Centre.

You can support them by:

• Fuel your vehicle and 10 cents per litre will be donated
• Top up your propane tanks and 5 cents per pound will be donated
• Get an Extreme Car Wash between September 9-15 and $2 will be donated
• Join us for lunch 11:30am – 1:00pm at both Gas Bars for a Fundraiser BBQ and meet the Dauphin Kings. Pre-orders are welcome. Contact TBD

“Once again, Fuel Good Day is providing the opportunity for us to work together with our members and customers for the benefit of our community,” said Lorne Eiffert, General Manager of Dauphin Co-op. “This is a great fundraiser that shows how small actions can have big impacts.”
