LOWELL, Mass. (July 6, 2026) – Marcotte Law Firm, LLC today announced that Michael D. Molloy, Esq., the firm’s Managing Member, has joined Merrimack Valley Food Bank’s (MVFB) Board of Directors. Attorney Molloy will lend his legal expertise and deep ties to the Greater Lowell community to help guide the organization’s ongoing mission to fight food insecurity. 

This additional responsibility is not new for Attorney Molloy, whose practice focuses on personal injury litigation, workers’ compensation, and disability law. Beyond the courtroom, he has a long history of civic engagement in Greater Lowell, including serving on the Board of Directors for the Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Lowell Bar Association, and the Massachusetts Bar Association. His appointment to the MVFB Board reflects his ongoing commitment to community, which has become a family hallmark given the Marcotte/Molloy family legacy and residency in Lowell for nearly 100 years.

Debbie Callery, executive director of the Merrimack Valley Food Bank shared, “We are delighted to have Michael join our Board of Directors. His long record of service to the Greater Lowell community speaks for itself, and we look forward to partnering with him in our fight against food insecurity.” 

The focus of the Merrimack Valley Food Bank (MBFB) is to help meet a person’s most profound need — adequate nutrition and freedom from hunger. Through its six hunger relief programs, the Merrimack Valley Food Bank provides nutritious food to food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, and other programs that serve individuals and families in 33 communities across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. 

“I’ve spent my entire legal career representing people from this community, and have seen firsthand how many families are working hard and still struggling to make ends meet,” said Molloy. “Joining the Board of the Merrimack Valley Food Bank is a natural extension of that work, and I’m honored to support an organization that shows up for our neighbors every single day.”

Annual Women’s Bar Foundation (WBF) Fundraiser Raises Money to Support Domestic Violence Survivors and Elders Across Massachusetts

Lowell, Mass. (May 15, 2026) — Michael D. Molloy, the managing member of Marcotte Law Firm, LLC, was selected by the Women’s Bar Foundation (WBF) to appear as a guest performer at the organization’s annual fundraiser, Whoop It Up for Women! 2026. Proceeds from the signature event fund legal assistance to low-income individuals across the Commonwealth. Boston notables, including Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu, as well as celebrities Fran Drescher and Kim Miles, have previously attended.

Heralded as “the funniest show you’ll ever be a part of,” entertainment for the evening will be helmed by Improv Asylum, Boston’s premier live comedy improv troupe. Organizers further flipped the script this year, adding a short list of local attorneys to serve as improv comedians. Michael Molloy (Marcotte Law Firm) and three members from Wolf Greenfield – Cara Dawson, Francesca Householder, and Caitlin Schneider – will join Improv Asylum for one night only, to augment the troupe’s quick-witted, interactive, laugh-out-loud performance, with their own brand of comedic prowess. 

“Being asked to perform at an event like this may be daunting to some, but I couldn’t be more excited to join the improv cast,” shared Molloy. “I’m honored to participate in an event that raises funds and awareness for the critical work done by my law colleagues and members of both the Women’s Bar Association and the Women’s Bar Foundation. I plan to bring my comedic A-game.” 

Whoop It Up for Women! features a cocktail reception, a 50/50 raffle, and a live auction, the proceeds of which will provide free legal assistance to domestic abuse survivors, low-income elders, and incarcerated women. Main support programs include the Family Law Project for Domestic Abuse Survivors, Elder Law Project, and the Women’s Prison & Re-Entry Project/Clemency Project. 

Whoop It Up for Women! will be held at the Boston Harbor Hotel (70 Rowes Wharf, Boston) on Thursday, May 28, 2026, from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. To become an event sponsor or to purchase tickets, visit www.wbfcomedy.org.
