🎉 Congratulations to Cindy "CJ" Carter! 🎉
We are incredibly proud to share that Cindy "CJ" Carter has been inducted into the Greeley Weld Senior Foundation Volunteer Hall of Fame—an honor awarded to only three individuals across Weld County each year.

Over the past four years, CJ has generously dedicated more than 280 volunteer hours at the Erie Community Center, helping support programs that bring connection, friendship, and joy to older adults in our community. Whether she's setting up for our Friendly Fork Lunch Program, welcoming guests at Adult Dinner & Concert events, or lending a helping hand wherever needed, CJ consistently leads with kindness, compassion, and a genuine love for serving others.

Her commitment to our community extends beyond the Community Center. As a Victim Advocate with the , CJ provides support and comfort to individuals and families during some of life's most difficult moments. Through every role she serves, she exemplifies empathy, courage, and selflessness.
CJ's impact can be felt by everyone who has had the privilege of working alongside her. She reminds us that service is not measured only in hours given, but in lives touched.

Please join us in congratulating CJ on this well-deserved recognition and thanking her for the countless ways she makes Erie and Weld County stronger, kinder, and more connected. ❤️
