CITGO Station Owners and Operators Committed to Giving Back to Their Communities

Each and every one of the nearly 4,700 CITGO gas stations is locally owned and independently operated. These local business owners provide jobs for hardworking Americans and generate local, state and federal taxes that support important programs across our footprint. They are philanthropic leaders. Many CITGO Marketers and Retailers are members of their local chambers of commerce, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Lion’s Club, Rotary Club and others. Some are even volunteer firefighters. Many sponsor organizations such as Toys for Tots and local school sports clubs; and donate to non-profits such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the American Cancer Society, Breast Cancer Awareness, and local food pantries and libraries.
