The general manager at the Thompson Co-op Gas Bars says Fuel Good Day went fantastic.

The fundraising event took place Sept. 21, where five cents from every litre sold and $1 from every slushie purchase went towards the Thompson CMHA, Hope North, and the Thompson Crisis Centre.

Alvaro Filipe adds the three charities hosted a free barbeque at the new gas bar, where people donated money directly to the groups.

Filipe says while he doesn’t have the official amount raised as they’re waiting to hear back from the Federated Co-op, he anticipates they exceeded what they set out to raise.

He goes on to thank the community for supporting the cause.
