The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children, and families and by safeguarding individual rights and freedoms.

A Faith in the Future. A Belief in Action.

SNACK PACK MEETING A HUGE SUCCESS

We met the challenge!!  On a cold January afternoon with snow in the forecast, NCJW members and guests came out in force to surpass all previous records and packed an outstanding 1,000 snack packs for distribution by the Center for Food Action to local children.  The snack packs are quietly placed in designated students’ backpacks by their teachers so that they have healthy snacks for the weekend.

We had a good time schmoozing as we packed, renewing acquaintances and making new friends.  Thank you all.
