NCJW Gives Back: Comfort Care Kit Packing Day

Since the June 2022 Dobbs decision, many states have passed legislation increasing restrictions and access to abortion, forcing thousands of patients to travel to Illinois to seek an abortion, with a nearly 25% uptick in out of state patients traveling from 40 different states.

Understanding the social, emotional and financial challenges patients may experience, NCJW created the Comfort Care Kit initiative to provide comfort to patients during such a vulnerable moment in their lives. The  kits were designed in conjunction with Planned Parenthood of Illinois and have provided solace for hundreds of patients.

Join other members in person on Sunday, 11/17 to assembly kits – see registration form below. You’ll also find out more about NCJW’s Reproductive Health initiatives.

The kits include items such as: heating pads, fuzzy socks, and maxi-pads. Each kit costs approximately $6 and we are also asking for donations to help off-set the cost of at least 200 kits!
