North Okanagan residents still have time to fill up their gas tanks for a cause.

Ten cents from every litre of gas or diesel sold at Armstrong Regional Cooperative Gas Bars will be donated to one of three local charities.

The Armstrong Gas Bar will donate to the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club - Armstrong Food Bank, while the Salmon Arm Gas Bar is supporting the Shuswap Hospital Foundation and the Vernon Gas Bar is supporting the North Okanagan Hospice Society.

Thousands of drivers have already filled up their tanks today and many more are excepted to this evening.

Last year more than $10,000 was raised for selected local non-profits.

Fill your tank up for a great cause today in the North Okanagan.

As part of Fuel Good Day, 10 cents from every litre of fuel sold at Armstrong Regional Cooperative Gas Bars will be donated to local charities.

Each gas station involved is supporting a different non-profit charity.

The Armstrong Gas Bar will donate to the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club - Armstrong Food Bank, while the Salmon Arm Gas Bar is supporting the Shuswap Hospital Foundation and the Vernon Gas Bar is supporting the North Okanagan Hospice Society.

The participating Co-op gas bars will have giveaways, member draws, barbeques, music, visits from their mascot Cooper and player visits from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, Vernon Vipers and North Okanagan Knights.

The event runs until the end of the day.
