Drumheller Co-op presented funds totalling close to sixteen thousand dollars to local non-profit organizations Friday, August 29, 2014.
Funds were provided through Co-op’s fundraising Till Tape Program, which allows participating non-profit groups to collect cash register receipts from purchases made at the grocery store, gas bar and agro store and submit them twice a year .
“We’re just proud to support the many organizations that we do,” said Drumheller Co-op General Manager Gord Van Kannel.
Van Kannel has been a part of the Co-op system for many years and said this is the first place he’s seen this kind of program.
He invites groups interested in Drumheller Co-op’s Till Tape Program to stop by or call the store’s administration office at (403)823-5555. The Drumheller Co-op has paid out $274,868 to over 96 community groups since the beginning of their Till Tape Program in 2000.
