Join us for NCJW Believes — a powerful evening of purpose, celebration, and community — as we honor the 25th Anniversary of the Back to School! Store (BTSS), a milestone year for a program that has empowered over 30,000 children since 2000.

This special night isn’t just about raising critical funds — it’s a heartfelt tribute to the partners, volunteers, and funders who’ve made BTSS possible year after year. Stroll down memory lane with photos and videos from past events, relive the impact, and toast to the future with heavy appetizers and an open bar.

Back to School! Store is more than a one-day event; it’s a launchpad for confidence and dignity, providing underserved elementary school children across St. Louis with brand-new clothing, shoes, school supplies, and essentials to start the school year ready to thrive. In 2025 we supplied 2100 children with the tools-and belief-that they can succeed.

Come ready to celebrate. Come ready to support.
Every dollar raised will allow NCJWSTL to continue its legacy of supporting women, children, and families.
