Sherri Lewis Wood, President
Sherri vividly recalls listening to a radio interview with a woman was frantic to get her coats to the one San Francisco location of the One Warm Coat drive before it closed. Sherri knew there should be MORE – more drives, more dates, more coats. Ten years later, she is delighted to have found that the simple message of helping those in need would resonate with so many people across the country. Sherri lives in San Francisco and Livingston, Montana and, when not on her laptop, can be found on the golf course or in a river. Contact her at sherri@onewarmcoat.org
Joan Wallner, Project Director – Retail Drives
When Joan first heard about One Warm Coat, she immediately thought of how great it would be to work for such a wonderful cause. A short year later, she joined the team to assist with the Warm Coats + Warm Hearts campaign with ABC’s Good Morning America and Burlington Coat Factory! Joan’s 15+ years experience working with non-profits serves both One Warm Coat and our agency partners especially well during the busy Warm Coats + Warm Hearts season. She continues to be thrilled to hear from our agency partners, who express how this coat drive helps thousands across the country each year. Joan lives in the San Francisco Bay area. When not working, she can be found at the playground with her two young sons and husband, at the gym or hiking in the hills. Contact her at joan@onewarmcoat.org.
Sybil Hunt, Community Outreach Director
Sybil can’t resist telling a good tale — and if it’s a “coat” tale, she’s especially happy to tell it! As Community Outreach Director, she works with the team to shine a verbal spotlight on the continuing need for warm coats and the awesome people who work to find coats and get them to those who need them most. Sybil writes our newsletter, blog and Facebook content and writes other material for a variety of organizations. She gets her greatest enjoyment from connecting with the coat drive organizers, agency representatives and sponsors who share heartwarming tales of ways they’ve made a difference in their hometowns. Got a tale to tell (and some photos to share)? Contact her at sybil@onewarmcoat.org.
