Hanscom AFB, MA (November 8, 2018) – Hanscom Federal Credit Union presented the Board Memorial Award to the U.S. Army Natick MWR at the Natick Soldiers System Center (NSSC). The $1,500 grant, which honors past and present Hanscom FCU board members, is given annually to a volunteer group that serves Hanscom Federal Credit Union’s membership base.
Formally known as U.S. Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, the Army MWR manages programs and services that support readiness and resilience for soldiers and their families. The Natick MWR also serves Marines, Coast Guard, and Air Force personnel assigned to the NSSC. Services they offer include physical fitness programs, family recreation opportunities, domestic violence prevention and assistance, and relocation readiness, as well as other life-enhancing programs.
The Natick MWR is especially proud of their Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) program, a support group that encourages participants to engage in community volunteerism, take advantage of local recreational activities, and explore and enjoy cultural and historic venues around Boston.
“The Natick MWR strives to deliver the highest quality programs and services at their installation,” said Paul Marotta, Hanscom FCU’s Chairman of the Board. “As a defense-based credit union, we’re especially honored to help an organization that does so much for those who are serving and standing ready to defend our nation, along with their families. They’re a perfect fit for this year’s Board Memorial Award.”
