For over 130 years, Jewish Women in Action Cleveland, founded as National Council of Jewish Women volunteers have served across Greater Cleveland — in schools, libraries, senior centers, and neighborhoods — meeting diverse needs with compassion, creativity, and action.

JWA CLE offers dynamic, engaging programs that educate, inspire, and connect. From nationally recognized speakers to cultural conversations and advocacy forums, we bring people together around the issues that matter.

Our work – whether working to ensure reproductive rights, advocating for safe and fair elections or standing with our allies to defeat racism and antisemitism – is vital to fulfilling our mission of improving the lives of women, children and families and safeguarding individual rights and liberties.

Thriftique Showroom is a volunteer based, resale store for high-quality fashions and home goods. Located in Bedford Heights, the showroom is the oldest thrift shop in Cleveland, at over 85 years old. We offer an ever-evolving collection of clothing, accessories, furniture, home decor, and more. Every purchase supports the mission of the Jewish Women in Action Cleveland (JWA CLE), helping fund community programs that improve the lives of women, children, and families.

Share What You Wear (SWYW) is a project creating personally-shopped, gender and size specific clothing and toiletry bags for distribution to children in need or in crisis locally through school and agency social workers.

Every child deserves dignity, confidence and normalcy. SWYW’s goal is to stock its closet with gently-worn or new clothing and new toiletries so that families in need have access to the basics they need.
