Ncjw/ Essex back 2 school store (b2ss): each year, the b2ss seeks to outfit 1,000 plus children in financial need with essential school items like a backpack, school supplies, winter coat, socks and underwear, and toiletries. The b2ss also provides the parents of these children with information, resources and support services.

Ncjw/essex is an organization that upholds the ideal that people can make a real and lasting difference in other people's lives simply by taking action. Those actions are all the more extraordinary because they represent not just one person's effort, but also the exponential impact of a group of individuals acting together with a common purpose. Our volunteer offerings include the back 2 school store, kids essentials closet, period.project, mitzvah-in-a-minute, the eskow awards, center for Women, and various program and project work.
