The National Council of Jewish Women- St. Louis held its 16th annual Back 2 School Store on July 24. The event provides underserved elementary school children the opportunity to pick out new, free clothing, shoes and school supplies for the upcoming school year.

The organization outgrew its former home for the event at Central Reform Congregation. This year, they moved to Congregation Temple Israel and served more than 1,300 children and had more than 600 volunteers, according to the group.
