Jewish Women International seeks attainment of the Four Freedoms through service, patriotic and educational projects, and involvement in local, national and international community life. Funds are raised by our annual calendar Ad book and our Hamentashen baking for Purim our Donor events etc. Projects on a National level are the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization, Hillel houses on the I.U. campus, Purdue, Ball State and Evansville as well. On a local level our efforts are turned to the Family Support Center, Senior Citizens at the JCC, and the Ronald McDonald House to name a few. It provides religious instruction for members of the community, serves as a resource center for other religious and social Jewish organizations in the state, sponsors classes, holiday programs and services, as well as offering guest facilities for Jewish visitors.
Special emphasis is placed on reaching students, immigrants and shut-ins.
The National Council of Jewish Women is the nation's oldest Jewish women's volunteer organization. It is characterized by its dedication to serving humanity in the Jewish and general community. Today more than 100,000 members in over 150 Sections across the country continue NCJW's tradition of community service and education, focusing on the priority areas of aging, children and youth, Israel, women's issues, Jewish life and constitutional rights. Funds are raised by the sale of used clothing and accessories. NCJW conducts an annual fall sale called Collectors Choice, which is the largest used clothing sale in the city.
