My Co-op, My Community!
FDCC plays a vital role in supporting the community. As well as supporting local producers, when we shop Co-op we celebrate local ownership and strengthen our community. Nationally co-ops contribute over $75 million each year in donations, sponsorships, educational and other grants.
One of the major ways members can donate to a local charity is through the Co-op Cash program at our 2 Gas Bar locations one adjacent to the store on the Vanier Highway and the  other at Four Nations Crossing. For the next 6 months the Fredericton Food Bank and Meals on Wheels will benefit from members depositing their Co-op Cash into the marked boxes next to the cashiers inside the Gas Bars.  The Co-op Cash collected will be divided equally between these 2 organizations. They will then use this cash to purchase product for their charitable endeavors. These organizations need our help. Please put your Co-op Cash to good use by dropping it in the donation box the
next time you buy gas.
Gas Bar Hours
Monday and Saturday - 7:30 am - 6:00 pm
Tuesday thru Friday 7:30 am - 9:00 pm
Sunday 12:00 pm- 5:00 pm.
The Medicine Shoppe is open Sundays 12:00 pm-5:pm
