LOWELL, MA- To celebrate World Kindness Day (November 13, 2021), Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union surprised customers on November 15 at the Fletcher Street Market Basket in Lowell, with Market Basket Gift Cards as part of the Credit Union’s Small Acts That Give Back initiative.

For the past four years, Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union’s President and CEO, Mark Cochran, and team members have surprised Market Basket shoppers around the holidays by handing out 100, $15 Market Basket Gift Cards.  

Small Acts That Give Back was introduced in 2018 and is the Credit Union’s version of Random Acts of Kindness. The mission is to spread joy and compassion to the community, and in celebration of World Kindness Day, a day focused on the importance of being kind to one another, this becomes even more of a focus.

“Small Acts That Give Back is a compilation of small gestures that allow us to spread a little kindness throughout our communities,” said Mark S. Cochran, President and Chief Executive Officer at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union.  “We hope through these small acts we can not only help those in need but inspire others to pay their good fortune forward.”
