Pride

You should feel proud to work for a company.

Here at Arpin when disaster strikes we are there to help and that always makes me proud.

When Katrina hit we worked with the local business down the street from us, Card's Furniture, and we sent 24 trailer loads of relief supplies to Louisiana with three weeks. Everything from water and food to articles of clothing. And we continue to work when it hit the State to be sure the goods got to where it was needed. Dozens of agents and drivers all volunteered their equipment and time, it was wonderful to help organize and see unfold.

When Haiti was hit we did the same. We teamed up with Physicians for Peace, doctors that volunteer their time around the world. They were already set up in Haiti and needed specific items such as walkers, wheel chairs, canes and crutches. We worked with Cardi's and our agents and sent over -
2018 walkers
520- wheel chairs
1006 canes and
2816 pairs of crutches

When Sandy struck we were able to send 15 trailers down to NJ and NY within a few weeks of water, diapers, power bars and food.
Arpin donated the time and fuel of all of our company drivers to get the trailers delivered.

At the end of the day that is that matters and I am proud to be Arpin.
