Buy a bowl, support SynerGeo

We still have some handmade bowls from the SynerGeo kiln left over from the Soup Buy the Bowl fundraiser.  If you’d like to purchase one and support a great program in your neighborhood, let us know!

Community Dinner this Monday!

Our monthly community dinner will take place this Monday, April 19th at 6pm.  Bring a dish to share with your friends and neighbors!

Soup Buy the Bowl

SynerGeo will be having a “Soup Buy the Bowl” fundraiser on Friday, May 7th at 6pm at Pine Street Baptist. $20 a ticket gets you tea, soup, and a handmade bowl (fired in the SynerGeo kiln) of your very own to keep.  Several children from our programs will be on hand to share their experiences with SynerGeo.  This is a perfect opportunity for local, community-minded citizens from Oregon Hill and beyond to come out and support us, and to learn more about what we do for the neighborhood we serve.

This event helps continue to offer programs to low income children and youth.  We really appreciate your support!

RSVP here!  Email bonniehofmeyer [at] synergeo.org or call 804-648-2287 for more info.

Community Dinner tomorrow!

Our monthly community dinner will take place tomorrow, Monday, March 15th at 6pm.  Bring a dish to share with your friends and neighbors!

Support SynerGeo! Two ways to help.

As with most non-profits, it’s been a challenging year finding the resources to keep the wheels turning at SynerGeo.  Please help us to continue building community and providing a safe, fun place for kids to get creative in Oregon Hill.  This winter / spring, we’ve got two great options for supporting Synergeo and supporting yourselves at the same time:

1. Place an order with us for homemade brunswick stew. It’s perfect soup weather!  We’ll be cooking up a delicious batch of this classic stew for $7 a quart, and it will be available for pickup (or if you know somebody here, delivery!) on February 27th after 12:30pm.  Contact Bonnie [bonniehofmeyer at synergeo.org] or call us [804-648-2287] to pre-order.
2. Buy some plants from us for your spring garden. Your yard will thank us, and we will thank you for giving back to your community.  Our online shop has something for all your gardening needs, including gorgeous flowers, fruits and vegetables.  Each plant you order will arrive in the mail, ready to plant, at the appropriate planting time! Note: if you’d rather order by cash or check, you can contact Bonnie [bonniehofmeyer at synergeo.org].

Thank you so much for your generosity — your good works help us to do ours.

No Community Dinner tonight

Just wanted to let everyone know that SynerGeo will not be holding its monthly Community Dinner tonight.  The potluck dinners are usually held on the third Monday of each month.  See you in February!
