The “Back 2 School Store (B2SS)” is a special initiative of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) to provide Essex County elementary school children, in financial need, with clothing, school supplies and other necessities to promote positive self-esteem and enthusiasm for the new school year. Programs for Parents, one of the agencies selected by the NCJW to distribute materials to families, allocated to its families custom packed bags filled with clothing and a backpack filled with school supplies, personal care items, and books. Families also received resource materials, including stress relief tools and personal hygiene products. The B2SS has served nearly 9,300 children between 2008 – 2021.
