With its heritage rooted in the King Soopers Supermarkets, the $477 million Sooper Credit Union in Arvada, Colo., said Tuesday it has launched a $200,000 fundraising initiative to help the families affected by the March 22 King Soopers shooting in Boulder that left 10 people dead, including a police officer.
"We are heartbroken for the families affected by the shooting," Sooper Credit Union CEO Dan Kester said. "We're here to help and are asking the community to share in our giving back efforts during this devastating time."

Currently, the credit union fundraising efforts have brought in nearly $30,000 for the families.
Donations are accepted from everyone, not only Sooper Credit Union members. Any dollar amount is welcome.

Sooper was founded in 1951 by eight King Soopers employees and only $157 in capital.
The credit union currently serves more than 36,000 members and operates six branches.
