130 YEARS OF ADVOCACY

In 2025, National Council of Jewish Women St. Louis celebrated 130 years of advocacy, education, and impact on the lives of women, children, and families in the St. Louis area. 

As we enter our next chapter, we’re moving into a new home — one that will allow us to grow our vital community impact programs, community leadership, and advocacy work. 

We invite you to be part of that next chapter.

WHY A NEW BUILDING — AND WHY RIGHT NOW?

Over the past 15 years, NCJWSTL programming grew significantly to address community needs. At the same time, the organization expanded volunteer engagement and community partnerships. However, limited office space, inadequate storage, insufficient meeting areas, and parking constraints began to restrict the organization’s ability to fully meet increasing demand.

To address these challenges and position the organization for the future, NCJWSTL purchased the adjacent property at 311 North Lindbergh Boulevard, more than doubling its physical footprint. This new building, modified with thoughtful renovations, will allow NCJWSTL to centralize operations, significantly increase program capacity, improve efficiency, increase security, and create welcoming, accessible spaces for community collaboration and engagement.

“This new space will allow us to increase our impact in the region, bringing together our members, volunteers, donors, and partners to improve the lives of women, children, and families. We’re so excited to share this new space with our community — to gather, dream, and grow!”

Ellen Alper, CEO, NCJWSTL

A HOME FOR OUR COMMUNITY

Our fully renovated new building will enable us to provide …

  • Meeting and gathering spaces to bring our community partners together to explore ways they can collaborate to best meet the needs of their clients. 

  • A safe, supportive physical location where women in need of services can easily identify and connect with the resources they need to thrive. 

  • More space for our Resale Shop, where the proceeds from every purchase stay local and directly help underserved women, children, and families in the St. Louis area.

  • A new home to help us expand our community impact.

NCJWSTL has been a partner in the truest sense. They treat our students with a high level of dignity by providing them with options for new shoes, clothing, and other essentials. The thoughtfulness of the project shines through in how volunteers provide deliveries to schools and build strong relationships with our staff. SLPS remains so grateful for this longstanding partner that has served our students and communities.”
