LOWELL, Mass.– Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union has named the Power of Flowers as the latest the winner of its “Give a Click” campaign. The nonprofit’s main mission is to enrich the lives of others by harnessing the proven power of flowers to lift spirits and promote healing. Recipients are people who are lonely, isolated, ill, or simply going through a rough patch.
“Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union understands the value of community and working together,” the credit union said. “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 support. The charity with the most votes is awarded a $1,500 donation from the credit union. New 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 Power of Flowers continue its important work.”
In this campaign, the organizations received strong support from website visitors. When the campaign ended, Power of Flowers received the most votes, while the Lowell Association for the Blind came in second, and the Safely Off Streets (SOS) 4 Paws came in third. Individuals are permitted to vote only once.
