NCJW Gives Back

NCJW Gives Back is an original, Community Service initiative of NCJW Chicago North Shore created during the Pandemic. Earlier in 2024, we focused on collections for new migrants in IL.

NCJW Gives Back is every few months and shifts the service theme each time.  When the need arises, we include emergency events and ask for immediate donations.  Examples of service themes have been: Pantry items, supporting those affected by gun violence, book drives and domestic violence shelter essentials.

Our current Gives Back initiatives include providing for a Soup Kitchen in Evanston, helping make fleece-tied blankets which go into our Mother’s Day Bags and Luggage For Freedom backpacks. Throughout 2025-2026 we will also continue assembling Comfort Care Kits in conjunction with Planned Parenthood of IL. Find out how to help here.
