A faith in the future. A belief in action.
NCJW has been meeting the needs of St. Louis women, children, and families since 1895. Pioneering the public school milk program, the Scholarship Foundation, Victim’s Service Council, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of St. Louis County, and Legal Advocates for Abused Women, we have seen these and other NCJW community service projects become vital social programs and agencies of their own. Our current projects, listed below, continue this legacy. Click here to view past projects. To contact us about volunteering or to learn more, click here.
Back-To-School! Store™
This one-day event allows deserving children to
“shop” for new clothing, school supplies, and personal care
items at a one-day store opened each August, and builds
self-esteem and excitement for children heading back to school.

Jewish Food Pantry
Compassionate volunteers greet clients, discuss
problems, and make referrals to social services.
Kids Community Closet
Kids Community Closet, an
extension of the Back-to-School! StoreTM,
delivers brand-new clothing, coats, school supplies, etc. directly
to qualified children right at their schools. This means that NCJW
can serve hundreds or potentially thousands more students each
year. We will meet the evolving needs of the children as the
seasons change and they outgrow their clothes. Click
