Valero Benicia Refinery donated $2500 to the Benicia Makerspace for the purchase of a SawStop table saw, which is specially designed to prevent accidental injuries when cutting wood.
“Safety is our main concern at Valero, so it was only natural for us to help out a non-profit organization like Benicia Makerspace with the donation of a safer table saw,” said Paul Adler, Director of Community Relations and Government Affairs at Valero Benicia Refinery.
Benicia Makerspace is a non-profit organization, founded in 2014, where people can come together to learn, collaborate, invent, prototype, and test new ideas using state-of-the-art equipment. They have a community shop where students, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs can make things, use shared equipment, learn new skills, and incubate new business ideas.
