LOWELL, Mass. – Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union presented Project Kompass with a $1,500 donation through its fourth-quarter Give-A-Click campaign.
The Give-A-Click campaign runs quarterly on the We Share a Common Thread Foundation website(WSACT.com). Community members visit the site, learn about the worthy non-profit contestants, 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.
Project Kompass is a private organization whose mission is to provide housing and services to homeless young adults in the Merrimack Valley area. Since its inception in 2020, they focus on providing housing, transportation, and educational assistance to those young adults in need. With the help of local vendors and businesses, Project Kompass helps their residents get back on their feet by assisting with car maintenance, providing clothing, and helping them find jobs to become financially independent. Since opening its first house in North Chelmsford, Project Kompass has grown and is now expanding into Lowell, opening another house to aid an additional fourteen individuals, the credit union said.
“Through our Give-A-Click program, not only are we able to make donations to so many worthy causes, but the voting process allows us to educate the public about these organizations who are doing so much for our communities,” said Mark S. Cochran, president and Chief Executive Officer at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union.
