Synergy Community Outreach Programs
Alongside providing excellent products and services, community outreach is a core value of Synergy Florida. Synergy has established a Ministry Program that contributes time and treasure to the community that we serve. The team meets each month to seek out new programs and opportunities that need our help. The Synergy Ministry is dedicated to improving comfort and quality of life, one mission at a time.
Amazing Love Ministries
This Christian ministry, based in Tampa Bay, serves a hot meal on Monday nights at 7:00 PM to anywhere from 150-200 homeless and people in need- courtesy of many volunteers from various churches and organizations in the Tampa Bay area. Synergy frequently volunteers to assist in preparing and distributing the food.

Meals on Wheels
Meals On Wheels of Tampa has been committed to nourishing and enriching the independent lives of the homebound and seniors of Tampa since 1975. Today, Meals On Wheels of Tampa serves over 700 people with a hot meal during the lunch hour.
Synergy Florida has been donating our vehicles and volunteering employee time to participate in this wonderful ministry. We love the opportunity to provide these recipients with a delicious cooked meal, but also spend a few moments chatting about life. One of our recipients shared that he was a war veteran and parachute jumper with an incredible story; one we would have only learned through the MOW program.
Everyday Blessings
Everyday Blessings, Inc. cares for up to 28 children in Thonotosassa and up to 12 children at our Sarasota location while they await permanent placement. The children in our program range in age from newborn through 17 years old. They come from all economic backgrounds and ethnic groups and have been removed from their previous home due to abuse, neglect or abandonment.
Synergy organizes and hosts events for the amazing kids in this program- from bowling and movies to Christmas parties. These kids are an absolute delight, and we thoroughly enjoy our events with Everyday Blessings.

PB&J Tampa Bay
Tampa has one of the highest homeless rates in the nation. PB&J Tampa Bay provides peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the homeless community as well as day laborers. Synergy assisted the Sales & Marketing Council of the TBBA in exceeding their goal to BUILD 2,500 Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches in December 2017.
In May 2018, Synergy hosted another PB&J event and constructed almost 300 sandwiches to donate to Metropolitan Ministries.
Metropolitan Ministries
Metropolitan Ministries cares for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless in our community through services that alleviate suffering, promote dignity and instill self-sufficiency... as an expression of the ongoing ministry of Jesus Christ. Every year, Synergy Florida hosts drives for various needs throughout the year whether the donations be food, toys, or school supplies.
This year, Synergy volunteered in the Holiday Tent and helped members of our community shop for necessary Thanksgiving items.
Feeding Tampa Bay
Look around you. There’s a good chance someone you see each day is hungry. In Tampa Bay, more than 700,000 people are food insecure, meaning they lack consistent and easy access to safe, nutritionally adequate food. And the problem isn’t limited only to the homeless. Many who struggle to find adequate food are working adults, children and the elderly. In the month of March, Synergy conducted a company-wide food drive to support our hungry community in Tampa Bay.
St. John's Housing Partnership
The St. Johns Housing Partnership is committed to promoting safe, decent and affordable housing in St. Johns County, Florida. We do this by creating links between the public and private sectors on projects that create low- and moderate-income housing, rebuild neglected homes and neighborhoods, thus benefiting disadvantaged areas and enhancing community economic and social development. Synergy participates in projects to re-build homes that have been damaged by nature, or worn down over time. It is a blessing to become a part of these families while we help bring their homes back to life.
