How can customers contribute?

In Canada and the US
Every time a customer visits an Irving Oil location, chooses Irving Energy to heat their homes or enjoys a homestyle meal at our Irving Big Stop Restaurant, they’re helping support the Fuel the Care program, which is supported directly by Irving Oil.

Customers who visit our sites in Halifax, NS, or Pembroke, MA, can also support Fuel the Care by filling up at a Fuel the Care Pump. More information about the pumps and their specific locations is available here.

In Ireland
Every time a customer visits a Top Oil location, chooses Top Oil to heat their home or visits our company-owned stores for their needs, they’re helping support the Fuel the Care program, which is supported directly by Irving Oil.

If the customer is visiting Top Oil sites in Ballina, Kilkenny, Kildare or Cork, they can also support Fuel the Care by filling up at a Fuel the Care Pump. More information about the pumps and their specific locations is available here.

What’s the difference between Fuel the Care and the Fuel the Care Pump?

Every time you visit an Irving Oil or Top Oil location, you support our Fuel the Care Program – just by getting your fuel. One cent from every litre purchased at our designated pumps throughout the Halifax area will be donated to the IWK Foundation to support families traveling to receive medical care for their child. At our Fuel the Care Pump at The Irving in Pembroke, Massachusetts, four cents from every gallon purchased will be donated to Tufts Medical Center.

In Ireland, one cent from every litre purchased at our designated pumps at Top Oil sites throughout the country will be donated to the Children’s Health Foundation to support families traveling to receive medical care for their child.
