YORKTON – Legacy Co-op announced $12,418.10 in donations to local community organizations, thanks to community support from Fuel Good Day 2024 Oct. 29.
On Sept. 17, at Legacy Co-op Yorkton Palliser Way, Yorkton West Broadway, Kamsack, Churchbridge and Theodore community members filled up their tanks, knowing 10 cents from every litre of fuel sold would go to support local causes.
This year’s Fuel Good Day donations were dedicated to enhancing organizations within the Parkland area, including Accent on Kids Early Learning & Childcare Centre Inc., Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours (SIGN) in Kamsack, Churchbridge Minor Ball, and the Theodore Volunteer Firefighter Department.
