Thank You to our Wonderful CIS Thrift Shop Volunteers!
As we continue celebrating National Volunteer Month 2026, we stop to thank and recognize three more wonderful volunteers at our CIS Thrift Shop in Boiling Spring Lakes.
Mary Rowe (left) has volunteered with us for the past 5 months, helping to sort and price donations for the sales floor. She previously worked as a team lead, a department manager, and a zone manager so she brings great experience with her to benefit our organization! Mary volunteers because she wants to help her community. She always brings joy and laughter to the team and is described by the shop Manager, Brian Sanie, as being jovial with everyone.
Pam Frandano (center) is a member of the CIS Board of Directors and knows how vital the thrift shops are to helping us fulfill our mission to serve at risk students so they can stay in school and graduate ready for bright futures. Pam is a former small business owner and her son is a previous employee of the Southport thrift shop. We thank Pam for volunteering to serve both on our Board of Directors and in our thrift shops. She is a wonderful advocate for our work and a great support for the other volunteers at the thrift shops.
Marjorie McAteer (right) has volunteered for the past 5 months at both our Southport and BSL thrift shops. She previously volunteered for 7 years with another local non-profit thrift shop, bringing with her a wealth of experience. She enjoys knowing her time volunteering supports local schools. She is a hard worker and is willing to tackle whatever task needs to be done. We are so grateful for her support!
We thank this trio of ladies for all they bring to our CIS Thrift Shops and our organization. We are happy to have each one of them as part of our team!
