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.

When there’s a need, we meet it. That’s what Norfolk does.

Current Community Actions -​ Welcome Wagon

Welcome Home Kits

In light of the new 5 day limit for shelter ​guests, the Baystate Shelter has requested ​over 300 kits to properly cycle through ​linens and “comforts of home” as guests ​come and go. This includes sheets, towels, ​comforters, and hangers.

There was a need. We met it. That’s what Norfolk does.

Past Community Actions - Welcome Wagon

Schools on Wheels Back Pack Drive

We directed hundreds of dollars in ​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. This action is now ​closed.

Community Kid Care Bags

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

Hygiene Kits for Baystate Guests

Heading Home, the service provider for the ​Baystate Shelter, had asked for kits that ​include shampoo, conditioner, soap, ​deodorant, combs, toothbrushes and other ​essential items for self-care. We’ve collected ​200+ bags! This action is now closed.

We​ are always looking for our next activity to strengthen community ties.

Future Community Actions - Coming ​Soon!

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.
