Every week, hundreds of children across our communities face the challenge of food insecurity. At Norwescap, we’re dedicated to changing that by providing healthy snacks and small meals to those who need it most. Our mission is to ensure that no child goes hungry on the weekends or during school breaks.
Throughout the school year, Norwescap collaborates with schools across three New Jersey counties. Each week, we deliver backpacks filled with nutritious, kid-friendly snacks and easy-to-prepare meals. These backpacks are distributed discreetly by school staff, ensuring that children receive the support they need without any added stress or stigma.
With your generous support, we can expand our reach and provide even more backpacks to families struggling with food insecurity. Every $11 donation fills one backpack with vital nourishment, helping to keep a child’s belly full and their focus on learning and growing.
