The CAP is an advisory group to Benicia Refinery management and seeks to represent the majority concerns and opinions of Benicia residents as it pertains to the Refinery's operations. In addition to quarterly meeting materials, the CAP website contains up-to-date resources and presentations for the general public.

On Tuesday, February 2nd the Valero Benicia Refinery partnered with the City of Benicia and donated lunches for 150 volunteers who assisted 1,400 Benicia and Solano County residents (aged 75+) that received their first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccination. The refinery continued this partnership on Tuesday, March 2, 2021, when the second dose of the vaccination was administered. We are proud to support the Benicia community and be a part of the effort to safely and efficiently administer vaccines.

Valero Benicia's Adopt a Family volunteer event touched the lives of over 40 people in 11 families this year. During the holiday season, families received gifts, clothes, and grocery/department store gift cards. Parents were overwhelmed with joy and gratitude at the sight of all the gifts our teammates delivered!

One Valero workgroup reconnected with the family they adopted last holiday season. The family's contact number belonged to the mother, who unfortunately passed away in January 2020. The family's father did not disconnect his wife's cell phone and by a stroke of luck received the call from the Valero workgroup just as he arrived home from work for lunch. Our teammates adopted this family once again and made a tremendous impact on the lives of a father, a son, and daughters who recently lost the support of a wife and mother.

As the Bay Area Crisis Nursery put it, "With so many canceled events this holiday season, you showed us that love, community, and generosity can't be canceled." Thank you again for your support, generosity, and compassion this holiday season.

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. They sponsor Tree Care Days at their project sites, recruiting volunteers to help maintain the trees they plant. They offer the Tree Keeper Program to educate residents and businesses on how they can improve Benicia's urban forest by following best management practices for planting and maintaining trees on their property.
