Fueling Good. Rebuilding Lives.

We take great pride in our commitment to social responsibility. As one of our core values, we promote and participate in a wide variety of programs to help improve the quality of peoples’ lives,especially those who suffer from poverty.

When natural disasters strike the communities where we live and work, CITGO lends a helping hand not only in the immediate aftermath but also long term. From Hurricane Harvey to the more recent Winter Storm Uri, we helped our neighbors in need by providing:

• Short-term immediate assistance to support local partners working on recovery efforts
• Long-term assistance to repair homes, rebuild communities and get them back to normal
• Equipment for first responders and community organizations designed to prepare for and accelerate recovery

Hurricanes Helene and Milton

After the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, CITGO committed $100,000 toward disaster relief efforts in North Carolina and Florida. World Central Kitchen (WCK) received $50,000 and SBP received $50,000 to assist in recovery operations, including the immediate need for food and water, and long-term recovery efforts. In addition to financial contributions, CITGO provided fuel in western North Carolina to support relief efforts, ensuring essential supplies and aid reached communities in need during this critical time.

Hurricane Debby

After Hurricane Debby made landfall in Florida's Big Bend as a Category 1 storm, millions of people were left without power while dealing with the aftermath.

Funds supported debris removal, chainsaw operations, roof tarping and mucking and gutting out homes.

Hurricane Beryl

In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl, CITGO donated $100,000 to support local disaster relief efforts conducted by the Houston Food Bank, Catholic Charities and Team Rubicon.
