We had a great day on the golf course and are looking forward to hearing how much money was raised for Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa!

We extend our deepest gratitude to Martinez Refining Company, our Presenting Sponsor for the 13th Annual Drive Out Hunger Charity Golf Tournament benefiting Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa.

Your leadership and generosity set the foundation for this event and make it possible to serve thousands of meals to those in need. Thank you for your extraordinary commitment to strengthening our community and driving lasting impact.

The refinery runs internal tests Mondays between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm to ensure our sirens are operational. During the tests on Monday, sirens will typically be heard by our fence line neighbors and potentially beyond. Testing our sirens ensures that we run the refinery to the highest safety standards possible to protect the community, employees, and contract partners.

We have a team of dedicated employees who respond to inquiries 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We invite our neighbors to call our Weekday Phone number at 925-313-3777 or our After-Hours Phone number at 925-313-3601.

Additionally, the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff operates the Community Warning System (CWS) and runs additional sire tests. The CWS website states, “Sirens are tested on the first Wednesday of every month at 11:00am. For the remaining Wednesdays, a more quiet and low “growl” test is performed at 11:00am.
