About Norfolk Strong

Norfolk Strong was started in 2024 by a group ​of Norfolk neighbors who wanted to organize ​their voices, their skills, and their generosity to ​support the folks and families who will be ​staying at the Bay State Overflow Facility.

We aim to support the Town of Norfolk in ​securing additional funding needed to accept ​these new neighbors and implementing ​successful integration plans.

We support our whole community - new, old, ​and guest.

Schools on Wheels Back Pack Drive

We are directing donations to Schools on ​Wheels who organizes amazing back pack ​drives all over the state for kids in need. All ​Norfolk kids in need will be benefiting from ​Schools on Wheels later this year.

Community Kid Care Bags

in appreciate for the Norfolk police and fire ​departments, the Norfolk Strong Welcome ​Wagon provides small bags of goodies for ​the department members to carry with ​them to give to any child they encounter in ​our community.

Hygiene Kits for Baystate Guests

Heading Home, the service provider for the ​Baystate Shelter, has asked for kits that ​include shampoo, conditioner, soap, ​deodorant, combs, toothbrushes and other ​essential items for self-care. Drop items off ​at our collection bin at the Norfolk LIbrary! ​We’ve collected 200+ bags!

Community Closet

Norfolk Strong understands that there ​should and must be a free community closet ​with clothes and other essential items for ​residents who are our most vulnerable and ​experiencing tough times. We’re in planning ​phases right now, but stay tuned.
