2018 Small Acts That Give Back

Small Acts That Give Back is our own version of random acts of kindness. The mission is to spread joy to our members and neighbors right here in our own community. Read below to find out what we’ve done so far this year.

Gas Card Giveaway

Five lucky members received a $100 gas gift card by simply telling us where a full tank of gas could take them. Congratulations to Theresa, Christopher, Steven, Lucia and Vathana!

Hometown Hero

Congratulations to our four Hometown Heroes, Andrea Connelly, Phil Lemire, Peter Moore and Midge Landry! Our 2018 Hometown Heroes were nominated by community members who appreciate their dedication to serving others. To recognize their efforts, we awarded each of them with a $250 prize. Thank you for all you do to spread kindness throughout our communities.

Pay Your Heating Bill

Our Pay Your Heating Bill campaign gave community members the chance to win up to $400 toward their electric, gas, propane or oil bill. Four members received assistance paying for their high heating costs. Congratulations to Jessie, Scott, Tammy and Pamela!

Oreo Cookie Day

Nothing like a Small Act That Gives Back that’s also delicious. To celebrate National Oreo Cookie Day, we surprised members and employees with free Oreo cookies.

Small Act at Market Basket

To help some of our neighbors with their grocery shopping, we gave shoppers at the Fletcher Street Market Basket in Lowell a free tote bag and a Market Basket gift card. We certainly enjoyed seeing the smiles on our community members’ faces as they received a small gift to help with their purchase.

Small Act at Muffins on Main

Early risers at Muffins on Main in Westford received a special surprise as they placed their order, and were inspired to pay it forward to other customers waiting in line.

Showing the Love

Ringing in the Holiday Season

Dozens of our team members braved the cold to ring in the holiday season and support the Salvation Army. Volunteers collected donations outside the Market Basket locations in Lowell, Chelmsford, Westford and Nashua. The Red Kettle Drive is just one way the organization helps people and families throughout our community during the holiday season.

Serving our Veterans

We had a wonderful time serving at the Veterans Breakfast at Dracut Senior Center. This Breakfast was extra special because it took place the week of Veterans Day. Thank you to all of the brave men and women who have served to protect our country and to all those who continue to serve today. We enjoyed giving back in this small way.

Granting Christmas Wishes

Thanks to our generous members and employees, we collected hundreds of toys to benefit Toys for Local Children, an organization dedicated to making holiday wishes come true for families in need. Games, action figures, coloring books, dolls and more filled the boxes at each of our branch locations. Thank you to everyone who donated!

Getting Festive

Our Tyngsboro Branch team showed off their festive side and American pride to decorate a Christmas Tree for the Tyngsboro Festival of Trees.

Honoring Young Artists

Several students from Lowell High School were recognized for their creative talent at our Lowell Branch. Their beautiful artwork is now on display for the community to enjoy. We invite you to visit our branch, located at 581 Merrimack Street, to check it out.
