Valentine's Event: Think Love, Think Fair Trade!

Meet Irma, from Denver’s Ladies Sewing Circle, and design a special heart sachet or relaxing eye shade for your Valentine.

Momentum is donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of Ladies Sewing Circle products to this local cooperative.

The Ladies Sewing Circle is a non-profit cooperative dedicated to helping Denver women break the cycle of poverty. The cooperative members are skilled seamstresses and expert recyclers, who skillfully transform the Denver Design Center's upholstery grade scraps into works of art. Momentum is proud to carry their sweet smelling heart sachets, relaxing eye shades as well as many new products.

November Soup Tasting

Servin’ Soup for Carriage House Community Table (CHCT) on a Snowy Saturday.


Thanks to everyone who supported Boulder’s Carriage House Community Table in November, by coming out for our annual soup tasting fundraiser. The event was a complete success- we sold out of cornbread and a number of our soups and raised $250 to help CHCT care for Boulder’s homeless and working poor. We also would like to thank everyone who brought in toiletries and socks to help keep Boulder’s homeless population warm, dry and clean this winter. We were amazed and touched by the magnitude of individual donations. It was not unusual to receive entire duffel bags full of clothing, socks and toiletries. It was with great joy that we brought the abundant donations to CHCT. Thanks to everyone who went out of their way to help those in need!
