Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union Foundation Raises Over $129,000 for Local Nonprofits
LOWELL, MA (April 15, 2025) – Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union held its fifteenth annual We Share A Common Thread Foundation Fundraiser on Wednesday, March 26, at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. The record-setting event raised over $129,000 for local non-profit organizations. The We Share A Common Thread Foundation was established in 2011, with a mission to support people in the community by assisting with food, shelter, clothing, health, and education. Since its inception, the Foundation has given back more than $4 million to local nonprofit organizations.
The Fundraiser drew an impressive crowd of nearly 400 Jeanne D’Arc employees, business partners, members, and supporters. Attendees were treated to various activities including raffle baskets, silent auction items, tasting stations from local restaurants, and live music, all while helping those in need.
The fundraiser continues to grow each year distributing funds to 170 non-profits in 29 cities and towns across Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire. To see a list of organizations that will benefit from the We Share A Common Thread Foundation Fundraiser visit WSACT.com.

“My heartfelt thanks to every person and organization that contributed to making this year’s We Share A Common Thread Foundation Fundraiser the most successful one yet,” said Larissa C. Thurston, President and Chief Executive Officer at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. “It is absolutely incredible to see so many generous people rally together and make such a powerful impact on the community.”
