In 2021, 15 of our stores took part in Shell’s program, The Giving Pump. Every time customers fueled up at a designated pump, they raised 1¢ per gallon for the designated organization in their area — adding up to $6,830 for Kids’ Food Basket in Kent County, Michigan, and $2,274 for the Public Schools in Marshall, Michigan!

The program was such a hit that we decided to do it again this year, and on a much larger scale. So this fall, all 65 of our stores across West Michigan and Northern Indiana participated in the program. Whenever customers chose the designated Giving Pump to fuel up, our fund grew by one penny per gallon, at no extra cost to them.

All in all, Johnny’s stores donated a total of $48,000 through the program!

• 3 Kalamazoo stores raised $2,000 for Bronson Children’s Hospital & Health Foundation, which focuses on caring for young people and reducing barriers to patient care across the region.
• 12 Grand Rapids stores earned $7,500 for Kids Food Basket, an organization that provides take-home sack suppers for kids to combat childhood hunger.
• 2 Indiana stores granted wishes for local children with critical illnesses by raising $1,000 for Make-A-Wish Indiana.
• And 48 stores helped wishes come true for critically ill children in our state by earning $37,500 for Make-A-Wish Michigan.

We couldn’t be more proud of our stores and our customers for helping us give so much back to the communities where we live and work! Thanks for making our part of the world a better place.
