O

n Aug. 12, the National Council 
of Jewish Women, Michigan 
(NCJW|MI) held its annual Back 
2 School Store at Congregation Shaarey 
Zedek. Although this year’
s store looked 
different due to the pandemic, the mem-
bers of NCJW|MI said they knew they 
couldn’
t abandon the children they serve.
For the past six years, the NCJW|MI 
has held ItS Back 2 School Store, a pop-
up “store” that invites over 700 kids from 
grades K-5 from Detroit to pick out free 
school supplies.
 Each child would normally pick out a 
new winter coat, hat, gloves, pants, two 
shirts, socks, underwear, shoes, school 
supplies and a book. 
This year, since they could not hold the 
full-service store, they had to cut their 
numbers down to serve 500 kids. The 
NCJW|MI worked with 22 different ser-
vice agencies, who designated one person 
to come pick up the supplies Aug. 12 at a 
specific time. 
In addition to the clothing, students 
received masks and letters from the 
NCJW|MI members to provide inspira-
tion. 
“Hopefully, by this time next year, we’
ll 
be back to doing the full-service store,
” 
Sallyjo Levine, one of the vice presidents 
of the NCJW|MI, said.
