Norwood Resource Center-Phoenix Fund

Norwood Resource Center is a community-based 501(c)3 organization founded in 2001 as a grassroots initiative to improve the quality of life in the Norwood Community of Birmngham. Our mission is to strengthen individuals and families through education, health and economic opportunities. The Norwood Resource Center is a member of the Alabama Network of Family Resource Centers, providing information about and referrals to local service agencies, assistance in accessing those services,informative workshops and valuable free programs.

This past October Norwood Resource Center experienced a devastating fire, which affected the entire building. Although NRC holds property insurance additional resources are needed to help rebuild so that NRC can continue its efforts to support the building of a better Norwood community, to grow and to support the livelihood of greater Birmingham. Funds raised from the Boulevard Blast this year will not only help to continue the NRC mission and allow NRC to improve and extend its services, but it will also help support its recovery from the fire. 

Though this ordeal has been a disheartening setback to NRC staff and to those that we serve, the Resource Center will not be thwarted. As long as we have a mission to accomplish, kindness in our hearts, and a dedicated Birmingham community behind us, we will continue to serve residents of Norwood and Greater Birmingham alike.  For more information on Norwood Resource Center and its programs and initiatives, please visit www.norwoodrc.org, and like our Facebook page www.facebook.com/pages/Norwood-Resource-Center.
