Household goods mover Arpin recently partnered with A Wish Come True to match $50,000 in donations to support families as the inaugural sponsor of the Meghan K. Duffy Hardship Fund. The fund provides immediate relief to families in crisis, covering essential needs such as housing, utilities, transportation, and groceries.
Arpin’s donation was announced during the Ripples of Love Gala at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick, Rhode Island. Overall, more than $750,000 was raised, the most ever during the organization’s signature event. The theme of this year’s event reflects how one act of kindness can create lasting ripple effects — easing burdens, creating memories, and offering strength during difficult times.
“We are deeply grateful to Arpin International for launching its inaugural $50,000 matching gift program at our gala. This generous commitment inspired others to give and create a ripple effect of hope for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Arpin’s partnership helps A Wish Come True provide vital financial and emotional support to families in need through our Meghan K. Duffy Hardship Fund. This year, the need to assist with electric bills, rent, and food for these resilient families has been greater than any other year,” said Mary-Kate O’Leary, A Wish Come True’s CEO.
Arpin employees established Arpin Strong, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization focused on supporting charitable initiatives in the communities where our customers and employees live and work. Since its founding, Arpin Strong has contributed more than $2.59 million to over 430 charities worldwide.
