Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union Awards $1,500 to Into Action Recovery

Larissa Thurston, President and CEO of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union, presents a check for $1,500 to Into Action Recovery Vice President, Mary-Ellen Cooper, and Into Action Recovery board member Steve Goodell.

LOWELL, MA (April 29, 2025) – Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union is pleased to present Into Action Recovery with a donation of $1,500 as the first quarter winner of the Credit Union’s Give-A-Click campaign.

The Give-A-Click program runs quarterly on the We Share a Common Thread Foundation website (WSACT.com). Community members visit the site, learn about the worthy non-profit nominees, and cast their votes for the organization they would like to support. The program with the most votes at the end of the quarter is awarded a $1,500 donation from the Foundation. The first-quarter nominees included Harbor Care, Bridges: Domestic & Sexual Violence Support Services, and Into Action Recovery.

Founded in 2015 by family and neighbors who have been directly impacted by the twin diseases of alcohol and drug addiction, Into Action Recovery provides a 12-step recovery program within a structured residential setting.

“We can’t thank the public enough for their incredible support,” said Mary-Ellen Cooper, Vice President, Into Action Recovery, Inc. “Our next goal is to buy a house to launch a women’s program, and every dollar gets us a little closer. Those votes and this money will help us provide even more people with the comfortable, stable home they need to recover.”

“The Give-A-Click Program helps so many organizations reach new audiences and gain even more support from the community,” said Larissa C. Thurston, President and Chief Executive Officer at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. “We’re honored to present Into Action Recovery with this donation so they can continue to make a difference in the lives of so many.”

Community members can now cast their vote for Jeanne D’Arc’s second quarter Give-A-Click nominees. The nominees for this quarter’s campaign are Gateways Community Services, Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity, and Webster House.
