Our Story

The Boulder Strong Resource Center opened in response to the tragic mass shooting that occurred on March 22, 2021 at Table Mesa King Soopers grocery store in South Boulder, which claimed the lives of 10 people and impacted countless others. Several organizations - including Mental Health Partners, King Soopers, the City of Boulder, Boulder County, the Boulder County’s District Attorney’s Office, and the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Administrators - quickly worked together to support the victims and survivors.

With funding from the Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP), Colorado Healing Fund, Community Foundation of Boulder County (CFBC), Neguse Congressional funds, Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), and other philanthropic donations, the Center was able to open a location in Boulder within just a few months (June 2021).

In late 2024, the Advisory Board (comprised of stakeholders from Clinica Family Health & Wellness, Boulder City, Boulder County, Victims of Crime Act Administrators, the Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program, the Boulder County District Attorney’s office, and family members of victims) jointly determined it was time to conclude formal operations in Spring 2025.

Testimonials

“I really can’t describe what the BSRC means to me. It’s a truly special place where I know I will be surrounded by people who support me and know what I’m going through. In society, I have to hide my trauma and my struggles, but at the Center, I can share that trauma with people who will welcome me with open arms and inherently understand where I am coming from. I cannot imagine my life and my recovery without them, they have helped shape me into the person I am today." -J.D

“I think about Boulder Strong Resource Center with tremendous gratitude in my heart for the life changing therapies that I received. The King Soopers shootings unglued me, and it was a long and painful road to put me back together. So many things can trigger terror. The Center offered a warm and compassionate atmosphere, treating each person with dignity. It’s almost unbelievable how all the good I experienced at BSRC could eclipse the violence. Love is stronger than hate. My experience at Boulder Strong has proven that to me." - M.V.

"It is a deep honor to work at the BSRC. Our interdisciplinary wellness team comes together in solidarity, receiving visitors and clients with compassion and care, with a singular mission underpinning our service offerings: to walk alongside and to support the recovery and healing journeys of those who self-identify as impacted by the Table Mesa mass tragedy on March 22, 2021.” - Jennifer Finney

Tree of Life: The next chapter

The Tree of Life art memorial was created by staff member Jen Finney to honor and commemorate the ten beloved lives lost in the King Soopers mass shooting tragedy, to support our community’s expression of grief, and to promote collective healing. All community members were invited to participate in its creation. Family and friends of those we lost were also invited to bring special fabric/clothing to integrate into the memorial.

In 2025, the Boulder Strong Resource Center donated this art memorial to the Boulder County District Attorney's office so that it may continue to live on as a testament to the strength and resilience of our community.
