Meet Our Team
Kristen Gauvin
President
Jessica Gagliardi
Vice President
Jessica has been involved with Boxes to Boots since 2018 after her husband received care packages during his deployment. Experiencing first hand the comfort and encouragement these efforts provided, she felt inspired to give back. Once they returned back to Connecticut, she became actively involved, dedicating her time and energy to ensuring other service members feel the same support her family once received.
Kristen, currently in her 5th year as President. Kristen started volunteering with Boxes to Boots in 2016, with her son Liam. Kristen was honored to be appointed as President to continue the mission of connecting our military heroes with care packages.
George Millerd
Shipping Manager
George has been an active member of Boxes to Boots since the beginning. He has dedicated countless hours to support all functions of the organization. He currently organizes, maintains, and supports the shipping aspect of our organization. .
Karen Cote, Founder
Karen began sending care packages overseas every Thanksgiving after her son was deployed to Kuwait in 2015. She started with several volunteers within her home and the mission has grown each year. We are very proud of the work she started and are excited to continue to carry out her vision.
Volunteers
Boxes to Boots is entirely volunteer based. We rely on the talents of many individuals to accomplish our mission. We truly couldn’t do what we do without the dedication of some many volunteers.
