Our Programs
Norwescap offers a comprehensive portfolio of programs and services that help people address immediate needs as well as work towards long-term success. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. But for people on the brink of crisis – food insecure, in danger of losing their homes, short on cash, struggling with employment – the journey can be long, and the first steps are often the most difficult. We are here to help.
Our programs help individuals and families meet their most pressing needs, and build stability and resiliency for the future – while also strengthening the communities in which they live and work. From Head Start centers to adult education scholarships; from our Food Bank distributing to 100+ pantries to nutritional support through SNAP and WIC; from financial literacy and tax preparation to matched savings for a family’s first home or car, every Norwescap program offers an opportunity to move forward.
