Hundreds Of Students Go On Free Back-To-School Shopping Spree
Back-to-school shopping is a typical summer activity for families, but it can be a stressful time for those who struggle financially.

That’s where the Back 2 School Store steps in. The National Council of Jewish Women, Essex County Section (NCJW/Essex) organizes the annual event and asks local social service agencies, including New Community Corporation, to identify economically disadvantaged students in Essex County.

The children go on a shopping spree with a personal shopper where they receive brand new items for free in a one-day pop-up “department store.”

Victoria and Elijah Oluwatodimu participated in this year’s event July 30 and each had a large bag of items to take home with them.
