Meet our Board of Directors

---

Hannah has been on the Board of Directors since the very beginning. She is one of the three founders of the organization. Hannah and her husband Clint reside in Lancaster with their 6 children. Hannah is a stay at home mom and homemaker. Hannah's personal goal with being on the Board is to help keep the Christmas Spirit alive and to help give each child a Christmas they are deserving of, just as much as her own children. She believes children are innocent beings that should not be robbed of a good Christmas, no matter the struggles their parents may be going through. If you find yourself interested in volunteering, becoming a donor, or joining the great mission of Christmas for Kids - Southwest WI, please do not hesitate to contact Hannah at 608.723.2687 (office), 608.485.1545 (cell - call/text), or email at Hannah@christmasforkids-southwestwi.org

Lori started out her involvement with Christmas for Kids by helping pull together one of the fundraising bake sales for the Harvest Festival in Lancaster as it tied in with something she enjoys doing, making unique eats for people. She began her journey as one of the Board of Directors in July 2023. She lives in Deforest with her husband and two dogs. 

Katy began her volunteer journey with Christmas for Kids-Southwest WI in the summer of 2022. Her dedication quickly blossomed into a deep passion for our fundraising events and the logistics involved in gift picking, wrapping, and delivery. By January 2023, Katy's commitment led her to join our Board of Directors as Secretary, a role she would expand to include Treasurer later that same year. Katy's primary goal is to enhance the organization's systems and structures to support ongoing growth and success, ultimately allowing us to serve more children and families each year. Her recent initiative has focused on refining our donation inventory list to better guide donor requests and streamline the volunteer gift selection processes during the giving season. For inquiries about donations or to assist with our inventory needs, please contact Katy at Secretary@christmasforkids-southwestwi.org.

Julie joined the Board of Directors in July 2023 after volunteering for the giving season of 2022. Helping to bring joy and relief to struggling families at Christmas time was a heartwarming experience for her and she saw the value Christmas for Kids - Southwest WI brings to the community. As a member of the board of directors, her goals for the organization are to expand our outreach to accommodate more families, build on brand awareness, and strengthen the relationship with community members and businesses to ensure our sustainably.

Jaquie's personal goal within the organization is to help the organization grow and provide children with the Christmas they deserve with respect and dignity.
