Spring Benefit 2026

Thank you to our generous donors, sponsors and guests

who helped us build

Foundations of Hope

special thanks to Bob Meola for sharing his time and talents to create this video: Hope Delivered 

Arm In Arm’s annual Spring Benefit brought our community together for an evening of connection, gratitude, and celebration. The beautiful event space at Mill One was filled to capacity with volunteers, staff members, donors, board members, corporate sponsors and many new friends learning about our mission for the very first time.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who supported Foundations of Hope, this year’s event raised more than $175,000 to sustain and strengthen our impactful programming. Through our Hunger Prevention, Housing Stability and License to Succeed programs, Arm In Arm provides essential resources to our clients, and your support ensures we can continue serving our Mercer County neighbors with the dignity and respect they deserve.
