Our Story

Inspired by a mom’s love and a child’s willful journey toward independence, the Two Foundation was established in 2013 as a 501c3 non-profit organization.

This organization was inspired by Derek Hunter, the son of our Founder, Shari. Born with unique abilities, Shari knew from the very beginning that her son was born to change the world—so she and her family committed to helping make that change possible.

Today, Two Foundation provides the structure and funding for Two & Company – which is a collection of people, places, and experiences, including the Café, Shops and Services – that enables people of every ability to find happiness and success in the workplace and beyond.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.

-Ecclesiastes 4:9

Our Name

Two & Company is an overarching name that includes all of the aspects of our work–the Foundation, Café, Shops and Services.

Most importantly, this name gives significance to the incredible company we keep. This includes our staff, job seekers, school partners, business partners, community, donors, and the individuals and families who we are blessed to serve.

Every person we assist, employ and connect with is exceptional. We want to honor that truth with every effort. We’ve set our sights on achieving a beautiful, inclusive future. We’re determined to get there. And we know we can do it better together.
