Valero fights holiday hunger

Valero St. Charles Refinery recently held its annual food drive where employees collected 12,476 pounds of food, which is equivalent to over six tons. With their total employee headcount, that is about 26 pounds per employee.

Fifty Valero volunteers assembled 2,024 boxes in three hours at Second Harvest Food Bank in Harahan.
