• Project Share (salvationarmyusa.org) — Norcross residents who donate through their power bills help fund Project Share, a Salvation Army program that provides emergency utility, rent, and prescription assistance to Georgia families in crisis. The program offers up to $500 per year, with eligibility based on a documented, short-term financial emergency and local case manager review. Applications and appointments are handled through each county's SHARE Partner Agency.
