which have been quarantined, 
and they have been coming 

in by the carload,

Cutler, president of NCJW| MI. 
“We want to assure them we 
are following the most stringent 
of guidelines from the CDC, 
National Institute of Health

can shop for gorgeous bargains 
knowing they are safe.

limiting shoppers in the store 
to 10 at a time, hand-sanitizing 
stations and no dressing rooms 
— clothes can be returned for 
Council Cash within 10 days of 
purchase. 
All donated and returned 
items are quarantined, and there 
is a touch-free donation station 
at the back of the store
Shoppers will find high-end 
clothing, including designer 
wear and other hidden 
treasures. All proceeds go 
toward supporting the many 
projects National Council of 
Jewish Women, Michigan run 
to benefit Detroit area women, 
children and families in need.

JVS Human Services is 
expanding its latest Recharge! 
career development program 
aimed at mature workers to 
those aged 45 and over. 
 The four-week program 
was previously aimed at 
those age 50 or over who are 
unemployed, underemployed 
or who want or need to 
change their careers. It has 
been expanded to include 
younger workers because of 
the pandemic’
s effect on so 
many employees in the state.
“This session will be done 
on Zoom for the first time, 
but we are confident that 
our participants will get the 
kick-start that they need 

to reinvent their careers,” 
said Sherrie James, career 
counselor for JVS Human 
Services. 
The program starts July 21 
and requires registration and 
$40 material fees and runs 
twice a week from 10 a.m. 
to noon. It will provide tools 
for participants to reconnect 
with their skills and interests, 
refresh their professional 
image and personal brand; 
restore belief in themselves 
during life transitions; and 
review the local job market.
To register, email sjames@
jvshumanservices.org or call 
(248) 233-4472; deadline is 
July 17.
