Partner Spotlight: Shell Gas & Storage 2U
For Shell Gas Station and Storage 2U, giving back isn't something they do - it's who they are. From supporting nonprofits across Central Oregon to creating employment opportunities for people seeking a fresh start, they lead with generosity, humility and faith. Their own journey has included seasons of perseverance, and today they continue to use their businesses as a way to bless others and build a stronger community.
“Our job is to love our community...so let’s pour it on strong...It’s important to make people feel seen and heard.”
A Partnership Fueled by Generosity
The Shell Gas Station and Storage 2U have been incredible business partners since Furnish Hope began in 2019. Before anyone really knew about Furnish Hope, we were running on fumes - literally. We had no donors, no steady stream of furniture donations and no staff. We were simply dreaming, praying, and watching the miraculous happen day after day.
Six years ago, when we needed enough fuel to furnish our eighth Habitat home, Shell stepped in with a gas voucher. That single gift kept our mission moving forward at a moment when every mile mattered. Little did they know just how important that voucher would become.
More Than Fuel
Since then, they've continued to fuel our vehicles as we travel thousands of miles each year, bringing hope into homes across Central Oregon. Their support has also extended beyond the pump. Through Storage 2U, they've provided valuable flex space whenever donations surged and we needed extra room at a moment's notice.
We are deeply grateful for the way Shell Gas Station and Storage 2U have believed in our mission from the very beginning. Their generosity reminds us that sometimes it's the practical gifts - fuel in a tank, space to store donations - that make it possible to deliver hope where it's needed most.
