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.
