Dignity U Wear: Wells Fargo team volunteer
Tisa Cumbea
For Tisa Cumbea, a Wells Fargo systems quality assurance analyst, what began as just helping a good friend with a sock campaign for Dignity U Wear has turned into a volunteer effort that gives her and her coworkers a special purpose.
“There are so many things that make Dignity U wear special,” Cumbea said. “Playing a role in providing clothing to those in need is an amazing feeling, and it is so impactful to know that the Dignity U Wear warehouse in Jacksonville supports the distribution of clothing in 43 states across the country.”
Cumbea and her colleague volunteer to help fold and sort the clothing donations, which will be distributed to those in need. When Jamie Mullis, the Dignity U Wear volunteer coordinator, came to Cumbea’s office for a volunteer awareness event, Cumbea said, “I knew this was the organization with which I wanted to get involved.
“We have enjoyed every minute of it,” said Cumbea. “I am thrilled to work for a company that promotes volunteerism and makes opportunities like the one I have at Dignity U Wear a possibility.
“Everyone at Dignity U Wear loves our volunteers,” said Janet Reagor, Dignity U Wear Chief Operating Officer. “We simply wouldn’t be able to serve as many people in need without their support. Last year, volunteers gave 6,000 hours of their time to ready the donations of brand new clothing. That’s equivalent to three full-time employees which, for a staff of 10, is a tremendous help.”
