Services provided include academic tutoring, mentoring, behavior interventions, attendance interventions, social skills/character development, basic need items, club activities, case management, and linkage with community resources to support student and family needs.
Our new Shallotte CIS Thrift Shop is led by Manager Renee Minor who brings enthusiasm, creativity, and strong customer service skills to the shop. She loves meeting and getting to know new customers and donors and is also looking for volunteers to help with sorting, preparing, tagging, and displaying clothing and other items for sale. Volunteers also receive a discount on shop purchases! Volunteer applications are available at the shop.
The shop accepts donations Monday through Friday from 10 AM – 4:30 PM and can accept baby’s, children’s, men;’s and women’s clothing, shoes purses, jewelry and other accessories, housewares, linens, books, music, DVDs, sporting equipment, holiday items, toys, and games. All CIS Thrift Shops are open Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM for your shopping pleasure. Frequent Shopper cards are provided so our dedicated customers can earn money off of future purchases.
