As their families start over, we want to provide children in shelters with this essential item. Each donation of $36 will purchase and fill a backpack for a child in need. Please click here: https://ncjwcns.org/donate/ and select “NCJW Gives Back” in the drop-down menu. Your donation will go directly to purchasing the backpacks and other items for Luggage for Freedom’s packing day this fall.
