July 13, 2016CAP COM Partners with Mission Accomplished to Provide Dorm Room Essentials
For the second year in a row, CAP COM Cares Foundation will partner with Mission Accomplished Transition Services to assist in funding their C.A.R.E. Initiative, which provides college bins filled with dorm room essentials to young adults that have applied for assistance. CAP COM Cares Foundation, the charitable giving arm of CAP COM Federal Credit Union, will fund and help pack bins for 27 students through the initiative.
“This community partnership is an example of the positive impact that can be made when two groups unite to support a common cause. With this program we are providing educational backing for tomorrow’s future leaders,” said Amanda Goyer, CAP COM Federal Credit Union’s Foundation and PR Administrator.
Volunteers will collaborate to fill the C.A.R.E. packages at CAP COM Federal Credit Union’s Financial Center on Wednesday July 13. Bins will include bedding, towels, toiletries and school supplies to get these young adults prepared to start their college careers with confidence.
“Mission Accomplished is honored to partner with the CAP COM Cares Foundation to help remove financial barriers when it comes to purchasing basic college and dorm essentials for 27 students. We are not certain these students would have received the support they needed to pursue their dream careers without the investment of time and money made by the CAP COM team,” said Carmen Duncan, CEO & Founder, Mission Accomplished Transition Services.
The 27 young adults chosen to receive C.A.R.E. packages for their dorm rooms filled out an application through Mission Accomplished Transition Services that asked what their college goals are and why they feel they are an ideal candidate for C.A.R.E. Initiative program support. In addition to the CAP COM Cares Foundation, other top C.A.R.E. Initiative supporters include NYSUT and DORMCO.
