Mission

Norwescap's mission is to strengthen communities by creating opportunities that improve the lives of low-income individuals and families. Our vision is to help build a community that transforms poverty into opportunity. Throughout northwestern New Jersey, we provide a comprehensive array of strategies, programs and services that generally fall into six domains or categories of support: Education; Employment; Financial Empowerment; Health & Nutrition; Housing & Community Development; and Volunteerism & Civic Engagement. Our mission and work positively impacts over 30,000 people each year, helping them move towards a thriving future.

What We Do

At Norwescap, we believe that every person deserves the opportunity to thrive. But for those on the brink of crisis - food insecure, in danger of losing their homes, short on cash, struggling with employment - the journey is long, and the first steps are often the most difficult. Norwescap offers services to address the most pressing needs of individuals and families, as well as "upstream" strategies to help them build stability and resiliency for the future - while strengthening the communities in which they live and work.
