Officials with Cenex & CHS Energy report Julie Williamson, of Wiota, has received a special thank you for paying it forward in her community. Williamson was selected to receive free fuel from Tanks of Thanks^®, a program that recognizes people who go the extra mile for others. Recently, Williamson was presented with a $50 Tanks of Thanks gift card, which is redeemable at any Cenex^® location, for donating her handmade quilts to a variety of causes throughout the community.

For years, Williamson has donated to the local school’s “Pink Out Night,” a silent auction. She has also spent time working with the local high school’s student council to make quilt blocks that created a quilt auctioned off for a student with a life-threatening illness.

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.

Nominating someone for Tanks of Thanks is easy, and anyone can nominate or be nominated for any act of kindness. To make a nomination, visit TanksofThanks.com and briefly describe why someone deserves a Tank of Thanks.
