For more than the past decade, CAP COM Cares Foundation, the charitable giving arm of CAP COM Federal Credit Union has partnered with St. Catherine’s Center for Children to host a Family Fun Day at their Marillac Family Shelter. This year, CAP COM delivered the best day yet, bringing a carnival, DJ and ice cream van onsite to entertain dozens of families all day.

“We aim to deliver smiles and make memories that are unforgettable. That is exactly the result of Marillac Family Fun Day every year that we have participated. The smiles say it all,” said Paula A. Stopera, President/CEO of CAP COM Federal Credit Union, who was onsite for the day.

Marillac Family Shelter is a temporary residence that provides supplemental services for families who have lost their homes. This is one of the only shelters in the region specifically designated for families.

Amanda Goyer, Foundation & PR Administrator said, “This group has a special place in our heart, as they were one of the original organizations we began supporting when the Foundation started in 2003. We love to support organizations that help families get back on their feet.

Later this year, CAP COM will also support Marillac Family Shelter by delivering backpacks filled with school supplies. The Foundation will also provide Thanksgiving meals and adopting their families during the holiday season.
