Latest Update from the Field
Synergy Services Resiliency Center Update
By Patricia Kern - Resource Development, October 12, 2009 04:01 PM
Synergy is seeking further support of services that homeless and troubled youth need by partnering with organizations who could serve youth on site. One such organization-Miles of Smiles, Inc., is going to bring its mobile dental program to the campus and will have afternoon/evening hours to assist homeless youth.
We are gathering items needed--just as if you were moving into a new home--and have a Wish List of Housewarming Items. Please check out our website for items to help us. We hope to open the doors in 3 weeks!
