For over a century, the National Council of Jewish Women has been at the forefront of social change—championing the needs of women, children, and families—while courageously taking a progressive stance on such issues as child welfare, women’s rights, and reproductive freedom. And now, with progressive ideals facing their greatest challenge in a generation, it’s even more important that courageous, compassionate women find a place to come together and take a stand.

NCJW embraces women of diverse backgrounds and temperaments, thinkers and doers who want to play a part at the local, national, and even global levels. What unifies our members and supporters is a belief in what NCJW stands for—the belief that progressive ideals put into meaningful action can improve the world.

NCJW is the most potent, most effective, most satisfying place where you can take that action and become a positive force for change.

The fight for the future is ongoing and, more than ever, it’s personal. Our daughters and granddaughters are depending on us.

 The Howard County section's latest effort is Backpack Buddies, a unique program supplying weekend supplementary food to Head Start children and their siblings. NCJW has always been on the front lines -- and the children of Howard County are the front line to us.

Other ongoing projects include knitting hats for cancer patients, providing toiletries and snacks for families in need through local shelters and centers, monthly programs for seniors -- supporting local projects with funds and sweat. And every year, NCJW Howard County gives tzedakah to organizations that help our community directly. We raise funds in a variety of ways to make these local service projects possible.

Come to educational events. Join a project team. Attend a social event. Advocate for women, children, and families. Surround yourself with women who care, like you do.
