Giving Back

Acupuncture Denver is proud to support many worthy charitable organizations and devotes a significant portion of its profits to philanthropy every year. Part of our philosophy of practicing gratitude includes sharing our abundance with others, especially women and children in need. Some of the non-profits we regularly support are included below.


Mudula Water is a partnership between adoptive families and Children's Home Society and Family Services to raise funds and develop a water scheme to deliver clean, safe water to Mudula and the surrounding areas. This cause is near and dear to our hearts, since Ezra was born in Mudula and still has birth family living there. Acupuncture Denver contributed $1000 to this project in December 2010.

International Child Welfare is division of the Children's Home Society & Family Services that provides international adoption programs and other outreach efforts to help vulnerable children in need. Acupuncture Denver sponsors an HIV positive child in the AHOPE community outreach program every year. For just $365 per year, this sponsorship funds one child's education, medical treatment, and care so that they get the vital support that they need.
