The U.S. convenience store industry’s 152,000-plus stores conduct 165 million transactions a day and sell 80% of the fuel purchased in the United States. Created to support convenience retailers and their local communities, the NACS Foundation has five signature programs: aiding disaster relief and serving first responders and medical personnel; helping in the fight against childhood diseases; investing in education and career opportunities for future industry leaders; preventing hunger and food insecurity; and keeping towns and communities beautiful.
GSTV will support these signature programs and initiatives via video content at fuel dispensers across the U.S. GSTV has also created a charitable match program with partners joining the NACS Foundation to spotlight the convenience industry’s role in supporting first responders, medical personnel and American Red Cross volunteers on the industry’s 24/7 Day, scheduled for July 24, 2020. Developed in partnership with the American Red Cross and launched by the convenience store industry in 2019, which is closely identified with 24/7 operations at convenience stores across the country, 24/7 Day celebrates and honors the life-saving work being done every day by hometown heroes who work around the clock serving our communities to ensure people don’t face emergencies alone.
“We know more and more consumers are seeking out positive, uplifting content, and for millions of Americans filling up their vehicles every day, GSTV has become a bright spot for entertaining and informing those communities,” said Sean McCaffrey, President and CEO of GSTV. “We’re thrilled to partner with the NACS Foundation to support their important community-based initiatives, and share with our viewers how they can participate.”
