Fundraiser for Sister Carmen Community Center

Caroline has been a Lafayette resident for 10 years and sees the Sister Carmen Community Center as a true blessing for the community. She says “I’ve been a fan of the Sister Carmen thrift shop for years. Recently, I’ve appreciated them for assisting my friends and neighbors in these tough times. Jen and I are pleased to be able to give back.”

Sister Carmen provides assistance without discrimination to the residents of East Boulder County who are in need. Among the resources they provide are a food bank, thrift store for affordable household items, and community support services. Sister Carmen Community Center is East Boulder County’s only comprehensive emergency assistance center and a 501(c )(3) non-profit organization with no religious affiliation. Thrift Store revenue provides a steady income stream for SCCC, and covers 92% of their operating costs. This enables them to put .92 cents of every dollar donated directly back into the community through their services.

Jen Alberti and Caroline Adams are the licensed acupuncturists of Left Hand Community Acupuncture. They provide low-cost acupuncture to the communities of Lafayette, Louisville, Erie, Superior, and Broomfield. The patients at Left Hand are treated together in a relaxing common room, much like a living room. The group setting promotes a powerful healing dynamic. Patients remain fully clothed and usually only points on the arms, legs, head and ears are needled. Payment is on a sliding scale of $20 to $45. Patients choose what they can afford to pay.
