Renzi Education and Art Center

Thanks to Great Raft Brewing for supporting Renzi! 🍻

Want to do something good for your community AND enjoy some delicious beer? Come to Great Raft this Thursday, July 29, for a supply drive to benefit the Renzi Education and Art Center! Bring in a donation ($5 min. value) and receive a free pint token.

SUPPLIES REQUESTED: Tall kitchen trash bags, paper towels, small paper cups, lined looseleaf paper, Ticonderoga brand pencils, markers (any brand)

Supporting low-income students is what Renzi is all about! We were awarded a grant from Find Your Light Foundation last year. Because of their support, we were able to help children right here in Shreveport/Bossier engage with the arts and receive academic support. 🤩

Did you know? This is just one of many reasons why we are so passionate about supporting arts education. Join us at https://fylf.org/ #artsed #nonprofit #college

Help Renzi Recover from the Winter Storm, organized by Renzi Center

We know the recent winter storm was an unexpected and difficult time for all. Like many households in Shreveport, the Renzi Center buildings were not prepared for freezing weather, and we had burst pipes in both our buildings. In addition to plumbing costs, we are also facing a major replacement on one of our heating and air conditioning units. The Renzi Center consists of two historic buildings in the heart of Highland that are within walking distance for the families of the many children we serve. These unforeseen expenses add up and affect how we carry out our mission.
