“We know that Metro Detroit families 
are struggling with inflation, but 
everyone wants to celebrate the holidays 
with gift-giving and new clothes. While 
we can’t cut the cost of holiday dinners, 
by cutting our already low prices on 
fashion wear and home goods, we hope 
to keep the holidays affordable for all,
” 
said Sallyjo Levine, president of NCJW| 

MI. 
Proceeds raised at the store, which was 
originally opened in 1934 in Detroit, go 
toward the many community-service

benefit local families.

organization include the Back 2 School

school supplies to 900 Detroit children 
in need in August 2022 and a program 
providing backpacks and school supplies 
to 900 homeless students in Oakland 
County schools and 450 children in need 
identified through Jewish Family Service. 
Other programs include literacy 
outreach, fleece blankets for children in
