💛 Volunteer Spotlight: Tin (Christina) Cartwright 💛
Since September 2025, Tin has been a caring and dedicated volunteer at Wellspring’s Family Store, helping sort and stock donations and pack orders for families across our community.
Tin shares, “I had a desire to serve in a local organization and help strengthen the very community in which I live in. I've been a public-school educator for 22 years and know that when families are supported, children do better in school, parents are better able to maintain stability, and our community becomes more connected.”
She also shares what keeps her coming back: “When I volunteer on Wednesdays, I am with people who care. The employees and volunteers lead with compassion and protect dignity.”
Through her time at Wellspring, Tin has helped make the Family Store a welcoming and supportive resource for families experiencing financial hardship by:
✨ Sorting and stocking donations for families in need
✨ Packing orders filled with essentials for children and caregivers
✨ Helping ensure families have access to clothing, toys, and everyday necessities with dignity and care
One of Tin’s favorite memories has been seeing the abundance of toys during the holiday gift drive. She shares, “There are times when we are not able to fulfill everything on the order list for families so it's always a favorite moment for me when we have an overstock of toys, clothes, essentials for children.”
Fun fact: Tin is a proud mom of three sons, Xavier (16), Julius (13), and Ezra (10)! Outside of volunteering, she enjoys cheering on her kids at basketball games, cooking Filipino food, reading, and spending time with family. 💛
We’re so grateful for you, Tin. Thank you for strengthening our community with compassion and care.
