LIVINGSTON, NJ — The Linda & Rudy Slucker NCJW/Essex Center for Women received a $9,678 block grant from the Essex County Department of Economic Development, Training and Employment, Division of Housing and Community Development. The grant will go toward expanding the programs offered by the NCJW/Essex Center for Women, which have helped thousands of women with computer skills, job searches and personal guidance.
Receiving the money on behalf of the NCJW were Beverly Trust, Barbara Hauser and Isabel Margolin, volunteer co-chairwomen of the NCJW/Essex Career Closet, which assists economically disadvantaged women in obtaining career attire appropriate for the workplace.
“We are very excited about the opportunities that this grant will give to the Center for Women and the various programs that fall under its umbrella,” NCJW/Essex Community Services Director Sue Wasserman said.
