Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union Foundation Raises Over $125,000 for Local Nonprofits

LOWELL, MA (April 30, 2026) – Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union held its sixteenth annual We Share A Common Thread Foundation Fundraiser on Wednesday, March 25, at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. The event raised over $125,000 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 over 300 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 172 non-profits in 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.

“We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who supported this year’s We Share A Common Thread Foundation Fundraiser,” said Larissa C. Thurston, President and Chief Executive Officer at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. “Thanks to this shared commitment to giving back, we can continue investing in the well-being of our communities and building a stronger future for those we serve.”
