Synergy seeks local support as funding cuts bite
Synergy Carbondale crisis center launches a community fundraising drive after SIU Carbondale slashes grants. Greenberg notes a 39 percent cut in 1981 funding from SIUC and a 75 percent drop from the Dangerous Drugs Commission, forcing a shift to grassroots donations and Friends of Synergy. If funds fail, paid staff may be cut and services curtailed, though the agency will not close without a fight.
