CAP+Ure Fund provides interim financial support for low-to-medium income union members who are impacted by total and sudden (unexpected) loss of income*. To ensure that the needs of their children and senior dependents are not compromised, each eligible dependent will receive a one-time disbursement of $300 worth of FairPrice vouchers to provide for their daily necessities and children’s schooling needs.
