Ring Power Corp. donated a custom-painted forklift to The Arc Jacksonville’s Triumph Industries, providing a significant boost to the nonprofit’s fulfillment center.
Triumph Industries employs more than 45 individuals with intellectual and developmental differences (IDDs), supporting their ability to participate meaningfully in the workforce. The donation will help Triumph Industries continue fulfilling its annual production of more than 4 million boxes for Johnson & Johnson Vision’s contact lens shipments.
The presentation of the forklift took place Wednesday, Oct. 2, at The Arc Jacksonville’s downtown location.
“We are incredibly grateful to Ring Power Corp. for this donation, especially during National Disability Employment Awareness Month,” said Kari Bates, president and CEO of The Arc Jacksonville. “Their support will help ensure that individuals with intellectual and developmental differences can continue to thrive at Triumph Industries. Triumph Industries not only provides employment but also creates a sense of purpose, belonging and achievement for our participants, allowing them to thrive.”
Employment at Triumph Industries empowers individuals with IDDs to develop valuable skills and earn competitive wages. The supportive work environment not only celebrates their abilities but also fosters personal growth through comprehensive wrap-around services, including mental health support and recreational activities.
“We were honored to contribute to The Arc Jacksonville’s mission by donating this forklift to Triumph Industries,” said David Alban, CEO of Ring Power Corp. “At Ring Power, we believe in supporting our local community and empowering individuals with differences. We hope this donation will enhance the incredible work being done at Triumph Industries and further their impact.”
