“Many fashion forward shoppers may be struggling with their clothing budgets this upcoming season due to skyrocketing grocery prices and the economic uncertainty we are all facing,” said NCJW|MI President Amy Zeskind. “Council Re|Sale is bursting with wonderful brands of clothing at bargain prices and shopping here is a way to stretch your dollars further without sacrificing your style. In addition, you are giving back to the community because NCJW|MI then uses your dollars to support its many programs that help women, children and families.”

Other initiatives include literacy outreach, fleece blankets for children in hospitals and in foster care, and Kosher Meals on Wheels.
