LOWELL – Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union is pleased to announce that the winner of the latest “Give a Click” campaign located on our website – WeShareACommonThread.org – is Table of Plenty in Chelmsford, a nonprofit organization dedicated to sharing community with those in need. Its volunteers serve a free weekly meal in a welcoming environment to help alleviate hunger and social isolation for individuals and families.
Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union understands the value of community and working together. On the WeShareACommonThread.org website, community members can read about three worthy nonprofit organizations and then vote for the one they would most like to see us support. The charity with the most votes then receives a $1,500 donation from the Credit Union. Different charities are posted every quarter, so we encourage people to keep returning to WeShareACommonThread.org to help their favorites gain a much-needed donation.
“We consider social responsibility to be an integral part of our overall mission,” said Mark S. Cochran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. “The ‘Give a Click’ campaign allows us to help people in our region become more involved with their communities and with each other. We are pleased to help Table of Plenty continue its good work.”
In this campaign, the organizations received solid support from website visitors. When the campaign ended, Table of Plenty came in first place with 192 votes, while Bread & Roses in Lawrence came in a close second with 177 votes and St. Paul’s Kitchen at the Eliot Church in Lowell came in third with 118 votes. Individuals are permitted to vote only once.
The current “Give a Click” campaign is focused on helping animals in need. The organizations vying for the next donation are: Kitty Angels of Tyngsboro, Pets In Need based in Dracut, and Animal Rescue Merrimack Valley.
