Cancer Support & Resource Program
Of Norfolk (CSRP)
The CSRP is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization with a local community focus. While the members of its Board are actively committed to increasing cancer supports for Norfolk residents, they know that it cannot be achieved without the support of the larger community. The CSRP therefore seeks to work cooperatively with other agencies, businesses & existing services to create a stronger foundation of cancer supports for Norfolk County residents.
