Valero Benicia Refinery Employees Complete their United Way 'Time of Caring' Campaign by Volunteering at Many Local Events!

Valero Benicia's employees have been hard at work contributing their time and effort to local volunteer events. Read on to see all that they have accomplished.

Valero Volunteers Help Revitalize Playground of Dreams

Valero volunteers made up part of the nearly 100 people who turned out to help revitalize the Benicia Playground of Dreams in City Park. This event was put on by the Benicia Parks and Community Services Department in partnership with the Benicia Community Foundation and Benicians Adopting Benicia.

Volunteers worked over two days to sand and reseal the 30-year-old structure so that it can be enjoyed by even more generations of Benician families.

Valero Benicia Hosts Annual Clay Shoot, Raises $150,000 for 2 Charities

Valero Benicia hosted its annual clay shoot fundraiser. All proceeds from this event go to benefit the Benicia Community Action Council (BCAC) and Rebuilding Together Solano County, two organizations dedicated to making a positive impact in our community.

This year, we raised over $150,000. This annual event serves as a platform for bringing together business partners, fostering relationships, and working towards a common goal. By participating in the 10th Annual Sporting Clays Invitational, our community partners have the opportunity to network and contribute to the success of our United Way partners and local charities.

Solano County Coastal Cleanup Joined by Valero Volunteers

Valero volunteers once again joined the annual Solano County Coastal Cleanup Day on September 23rd. This year, volunteers across the county cleaned up 3,000 pounds of trash and another 600 pounds of recyclable beverage containers from Solano County's streets, parks, and waterways.

Valero Volunteers Assist Tree Foundation

Valero is proud to continue to support the Benicia Tree Foundation. Valero volunteers once again joined the Foundation for a tree care day.

The Benicia Tree Foundation is an all-volunteer organization that provides opportunities for individuals, groups, and businesses to support their community through tree projects and activities. They sponsor tree-planting events on public land in cooperation with public agencies such as the City of Benicia and the Benicia Unified School District.
