What the kids 'shopped' for at the National Council of Jewish Women's Back 2 School Store

More than 200 volunteers helped 700 elementary-aged children from across Nassau County “shopped” for new school supplies and clothing at the first National Council of Jewish Women Peninsula and South Shore sections Back 2 School Store, the 10th annual, and first in-person one since 2019.

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the invited kids picked their supplies and apparel as parents guardians and guests visited the Family Resource Center for a host of information, at Freeport High School on Aug. 6.

The NCJW sections continuously seek support from foundations, individuals, national companies, service groups and synagogues and churches.

The Peninsula section is based in Lawrence and the South Shore section is based in Rockville Centre.
