SOUTHPORT, NC (WECT) — Community in Schools announced the expansion of the CIS Thrift Shop in Southport.

The shop reopened yesterday and will rely on community volunteers to make it successful. It will be following the model used in the shops in Sunset Beach and Boiling Spring Lakes.

“With money tight, people need a place to buy quality merchandise at affordable prices,” said Cynthia Tart, Executive Director, in a statement. “Donations from our community partners will benefit those who purchase them, and the money will go to programs which serve children and families throughout the county.”
