Message from Boulder OEM 1/1/22 at 4:00pm 

We have been overwhelmed by the community’s generosity. Please DO NOT bring donations to any of the evacuation centers or Sister Carmen.

There will be many opportunities to volunteer in the days ahead as we continue to recover from this catastrophic event.
