LOWELL, Mass.–Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union announced the winner of its latest Give-A-Click campaign is Uncommon Threads. Uncommon Threads uses clothes as a tool for boosting the self-esteem and self-worth of women in need. The non-profit, located in Lawrence, Mass., received a $1,500 donation from the We Share A Common Thread Foundation.
The Give-A-Click campaign runs every quarter on the Credit Union’s We Share a Common Thread Foundation website. Community members visit the site, learn about three worthy non-profit organizations, and cast their vote for the one they would like to support. The organization with the most votes at the end of the quarter is awarded a $1,500 donation from the Foundation. New non-profits are posted every quarter and people of the community, Jeanne D’Arc members, employees and supporters of the featured organizations are asked to visit WeShareACommonThread.org to help their favorite nonprofits gain a much-needed donation.
“We are thrilled,” said Susan Kanoff, Founder and Executive Director of Uncommon Threads. “Community support means everything.”
Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union said it was also honored to feature the Humane Society for Greater Nashua and Greater Lawrence Community Boating Program, Inc. as nominees in the second quarter Give-A-Click campaign.
The third quarter contest kicked off on July 1st with the following organizations vying for the next donation: Nashua PAL, Roudenbush Community Center and Clean River Project.
