ST. PAUL — Lianna Doocy of Waltham has received a special thank you for paying it forward in her community. Doocy was selected to receive free fuel from Tanks of Thanks, a program that recognizes people who go the extra mile for others.

Recently, Doocy was presented with a $50 Tanks of Thanks gift card, which is redeemable at any Cenex location, for working very hard as a volunteer board member of the Boys and Girls Club of Blooming Prairie, and heading up the “Benefit Bash,” the club’s largest fundraiser.

The Tanks of Thanks program from CHS and Cenex retailers encourages people to nominate neighbors, family and friends for free fuel as a way to thank them for doing good deeds, both large and small. Each month, more than $5,000 in free fuel is given away through the Tanks of Thanks program.

“Tanks of Thanks does more than give away free fuel. It empowers people to continue doing good things for their communities,” said Akhtar Hussain, CHS refined fuels brand marketing manager, in a press release. “Our Cenex retailers are proud of the communities they serve and the people who make those communities so special.”

According to Hussain, nominating someone for Tanks of Thanks is easy, and anyone can nominate or be nominated for any act of kindness.

“Congratulations to Lianna Doocy, and thank you for your contributions to the community,” Hussain said in the release.
