Our annual Back 2 School Store debuted in 2015, and it provides children with everything they need to go back to school with pride, confidence, and enthusiasm. This year, on August 4th and August 5th, 2019,  NCJW NY’s Council House is transformed into a very special department store, to provide each child with a brand new outfit (shirt, pants, parka, sneakers, underwear and socks) as well as a backpack filled with school supplies, entirely free of charge. Best of all, the children chose each item themselves, based on their own tastes and styles. While children shop with their volunteer personal shoppers, parents explore the Resource Center, where representatives from public and private agencies will be on hand to inform parents about resources available in the community to support their family’s health, learning, and growth.
