THERE IS NO APPLICATION FEE TO TAKE OUT A LOAN, AND SINCE NCJW IS A CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY, WE HELP OUR BORROWERS... (SEE SCHEDULE O)(COMMUNITY SERVICE AND MEMBERSHIP CONTINUED)BUILD CREDIT IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.WIFE-WIDOW-WOMAN, A SUPPORT GROUP AVAILABLE TO WOMEN OF ALL FAITHS TO MANAGE ONE OF LIFE'S MOST DIFFICULT TRANSITIONS. NEW GROUPS FORM TWO TO THREE TIMES A YEAR, AND MEET TWICE A MONTH FOR SIX MONTHS. THE PROGRAM IS LOOKING TO EXPAND TO INCLUDE A NEW MEN'S GROUP. THERE IS NO COST TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM.PROJECT RENEWAL IS DESIGNED TO EMPOWER UNDERSERVED WOMEN BY PROVIDING CLOTHING, EDUCATION, RESOURCES AND THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED AT WORK AND HOME. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE RESALE SHOP, VOUCHERS ARE GIVEN TO THE WOMEN TO SHOP FOR FREE, AND WORKSHOPS ARE PROVIDED WITH TOPICS LIKE RESUME WRITING, INTERVIEW SKILLS, AND SHOPPING HEALTHY ON A LIMITED BUDGET. THERE IS NO COST TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. IT IS HELD 3-4 TIMES A YEAR.MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN REGARDLESS OF GENDER, RACE, OR RELIGION.

NCJW-ST. LOUIS SECTION HAS OVER 1,600 MEMBERS AND IS THE 4TH LARGEST SECTION IN THE COUNTRY. WE JOIN WITH OVER 95,000 OTHER WOMEN NATIONALLY TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD IN BOTH MISSOURI AND IN WASHINGTON D.C. 225087 BACK TO SCHOOL! STORE AND KIDS COMMUNITY CLOSET:THE BACK TO SCHOOL! STORE IS A ONE-DAY EVENT SET UP LIKE A DEPARTMENT STORE. EACH CHILD IS ASSIGNED AN ADULT VOLUNTEER TO HELP HIM OR HER SHOP FOR FREE FOR CLOTHING AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES. IN COLLABORATION WITH OVER 75 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, NCJW PROVIDES PROGRAMMING IN THE AREAS OF CHILD SAFETY, NUTRITION, VISION SCREENING, HEALTH ISSUES, ETC., FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND CHILDREN. A NEW "FAMILY RESOURCE GUIDE" HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ALL THE SERVICES AVAILABLE IN OUR REGION TO SUPPORT THE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN. EACH CHILD RECEIVES EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO START THE SCHOOL YEAR: CLOTHING, COAT, SHOES, UNDERGARMENTS, BACKPACK, BOOK AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES. (SEE SCHEDULE O)(BACK TO SCHOOL! STORE AND KIDS COMMUNITY CLOSET CONTINUED)EVERYTHING IS BRAND-NEW AND CHOSEN BY THE CHILD WITH THEIR PERSONAL SHOPPER. THE CHILD'S SELF-ESTEEM AND EXCITEMENT TO BEGIN THE SCHOOL YEAR ARE PARAMOUNT TO THE RUNNING OF THIS PROJECT. OVER 200 CHILDREN WERE SERVED IN 2023 BY A HYBRID MODEL THAT INCLUDED DELIVERY TO ABOUT 40 AGENCIES AND ANOTHER 30 AGENCIES BRINGING CHILDREN IN PERSON TO THE "STORE".KIDS COMMUNITY CLOSET PROVIDES CHILDREN WITH ITEMS THEY MAY NEED ON A DAILY BASIS AT SCHOOL, WHETHER DUE TO AN EMERGENCY OR AN ONGOING FAMILY SITUATION. CLOSETS STOCKED WITH NEW CLOTHING AND UNIFORMS ARE PLACED IN UNDERSERVED SCHOOLS, WHERE 70% OR MORE OF THE CHILDREN LIVE AT OR BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. THE CLOTHING, PERSONAL CARE ITEMS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES WE SUPPLY TO THESE YOUNG STUDENTS ARE DISTRIBUTED ON AN AS-NEEDED AND ONGOING BASIS. CHILDREN CAN ATTEND SCHOOL CONFIDENTLY, IN CLEAN, NEW CLOTHES THAT FIT, AND WITH THE SUPPLIES THEY NEED. IT IS ALSO OUR GOAL TO RELIEVE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN CURRENTLY PLACED ON THE TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS WHO FIND IT NECESSARY TO PERSONALLY PURCHASE THESE EMERGENCY ITEMS FOR THEIR STUDENTS ON AN ONGOING BASIS. HAVING A CLOSET IN THE SCHOOL WILL HELP TEACHERS, COUNSELORS AND ADMINISTRATORS MEET AN IMMEDIATE NEED AND GET RIGHT BACK TO THE MISSION OF EDUCATION.ELIGIBLE KIDS WILL PREDOMINANTLY RANGE IN AGE FROM PRE-KINDERGARTEN TO FIFTH GRADE. IN SOME CASES THE PROGRAM WILL REACH OUT TO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND PRESCHOOL CHILDREN AS WELL. OVER 13,000 CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO THE CLOSETS ON ANY GIVEN DAY. 203738 46133 ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION: MANY OF NCJW'S ADVOCACY EFFORTS ARE GEARED SPECIFICALLY TO THE EDUCATION OF OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT THE FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS THAT ARE ACCORDED TO ALL.
