Special Projects

In addition to annually supporting numerous long-term philanthropic endeavors and countless community charities, The Norcross Foundation dedicates itself to assisting the short-term needs of individuals and communities in their time of need. From feeding the hungry to helping those affected by natural disasters, The Norcross Foundation helps restore hope and give immediate assistance.

Hurricane Sandy Relief

While providing community support is what the Norcross Foundation is all about, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy it became clear that the need in our region had never been greater. Along with Conner Strong & Buckelew, The Norcross Foundation is proud to have responded so strongly by donating generously to local shelters, the American Red Cross, and All Hands Volunteers.

Medical Team Deployment to Haiti

Following the devastating hurricane that hit Haiti in January 2010, The Norcross Foundation and Cooper University Hospital mobilized a medical mission to support those impacted by the storm. For nearly two weeks, a Cooper medical team provided emergency, surgical, and critical care for thousands of injured Haitians. The Norcross Foundation, in collaboration with Cooper, arranged and paid for all of the expenses of the team, including transportation, medical equipment and supplies, and other needs.

Military Support

Too often, in our nation’s efforts to help those outside of our borders, we neglect those who defend the very borders themselves. With that in mind, The Norcross Foundation continues to seek opportunities to support the military families of this country. Each year, The Foundation, in collaboration with Conner Strong & Buckelew, collects toys and books and donates them along with gift cards to local families in need.
