LOWELL, Mass. – Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union has presented L’Arche Boston North with a $1,500 donation, through its second-quarter Give-A-Click campaign.
The Give-A-Click program runs quarterly on the We Share a Common Thread Foundation website (WSACT.com).

The organization with the most votes at the end of the quarter is awarded a $1,500 donation from the Foundation.
L’Arche Boston North (LBN) homes is a local non-profit offering a welcoming place for people with intellectual disabilities. LBN is a community where people with disabilities, and those who assist them, live together and create a compassionate environment. In this community, the members can live independently or in a household with others. They provide daily programs, arts and crafts, and part-time jobs to the residences. These members learn valuable lessons about patience, faith, and love, the credit union said.
“LBN is doing admirable work creating a special and safe community for adults with intellectual disabilities,” said Mark S. Cochran, president & CEO. “The Give A Click programs allows us to showcase the work being done by so many great organizations in our community.”
