We ask that staff, volunteers, and visitors wear masks at all Sister Carmen buildings.

Children under the age of 18 are currently not allowed in any Sister Carmen Community Center buildings with the exception of infants who are allowed into the Thrift Store if they are in a carrier (i.e. stroller, car seat, baby carrier).

All appointments for financial or other assistance with SCCC Advocates will be conducted by phone.

Please call if you need financial assistance.

Walk-ins will not be accepted.

To set up a phone appointment, call (303) 665-4342.

Our food bank has moved from a shopping model to distributing pre-packaged food boxes.

Food boxes will be distributed in a drive-through model Monday – Friday, 1:00pm – 5:00pm.

Please remain in your car, wear a mask, and our staff and volunteers will load food into your trunk or backseat.

If these hours do not work, please call (303) 665-4342. 

DONATIONS

The Thrift Store is accepting limited donations Tuesdays – Saturdays 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. 

Due to limited capacity, we are only able to accept a maximum number of items from each donor. You may bring up to:

• 2 large trash bags of soft items (clothing, linens), and
• 1 box of hard goods (household goods, kitchen)

For the safety of our staff and volunteers we ask that all donors wear a mask when dropping off and stay outside the building. We will accept donations on a first come first serve basis until we are at capacity.

SHOPPING

The Thrift Store is open for shopping Tuesdays – Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

We will only allow up to 15 shoppers in the store at one time. If we are at capacity we will ask customers to wait outdoors in a socially distanced line until another shopper leaves. For the safety of our shoppers, volunteers, and staff, we ask that all shoppers:

• Wear a mask
• Maintain a safe distance of 6 feet from all other individuals

Children under the age of 18 are currently not allowed in any Sister Carmen Community Center buildings with the exception of infants who are allowed into the Thrift Store if they are in a carrier (i.e. stroller, car seat, baby carrier).

Thank you for your support and happy shopping!

Unfortunately, as we reopen the store with only limited access, we will not be able to offer special discounts or coupons.

All in-person classes and events held at or sponsored by SCCC are cancelled until further notice.

Many of our programs are now available via Zoom including Nurturing Parenting Program, Circle of Parents, Bridging Digital Divide, and Professional Development trainings.

Please call (303) 665-4342 for details and updates on a specific program.

All meetings with outside agencies will be conducted by phone or Zoom.

We are asking that our volunteers use their best judgement about coming in to help. Your health is important to us. If you are at greater risk or don’t feel comfortable coming in, please stay home.

Staff and volunteers who travel out of the State of Colorado must quarantine from SCCC for 10 days upon their return to the state without having had the vaccine.

All volunteers and staff are required to have their temperature taken upon entry into the workplace, and will sign a Health Screening Certification verifying that they are not experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 and that they have not had a temperature of 100.4F or more in the last 72 hours. This is in addition to the mask wearing and cleaning procedures and policies already in place.
