Peninsula Bridge Partners with Loop Neighborhood Market and AU Energy
Drivers have a special chance to make a positive impact while refueling their vehicles. Through the Giving Pump initiative, customers can support the important work of Peninsula Bridge simply by purchasing gas at selected Shell stations.
Understanding The Giving Pump Initiative
This initiative takes place from September to October at various Shell gas stations across the Bay Area. When customers fill up at the designated Purple Giving Pump, a portion of their purchase goes directly to Peninsula Bridge's programs, which assist under-resourced and first-generation college students. It's a fantastic way to give back while handling everyday fuel needs.
Community Support and Impact
"We are thrilled to partner with Peninsula Bridge for The Giving Pump initiative," said Sunny Goyal, Vice President of Loop Neighborhood Market and AU Energy.

Together, we can help these students face and overcome challenges to unlock their full potential.”
