“We implemented our Small Acts That Give Back initiative to make a difference in the lives of our community members in various ways,” said Mark S. Cochran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. “Our trip to Market Basket was a great way to not only conclude our Small Acts for the year but to help make the holiday season even brighter for our neighbors,” he added.
