Guest speaker Donna Wright Somerville is the Executive Director for Grateful Gatherings. Before starting Grateful Gatherings in 2013, she was a national television producer for over 20 years. Donna worked at ABC, NBC, CBS, and major cable outlets like Lifetime Television, HGTV, MSNBC and The Food Network; and produced shows with Joan Rivers and Phil Donahue.
Donna founded Grateful Gatherings after a chance meeting with a homeless family where she learned about how their struggles continued even when they got a roof over their head. Her previous career as a television producer gave her the experience needed to start and grow Grateful Gatherings, including connecting with families, growing a community of supporters and planning and executing transformation of apartments into beautiful and comfortable homes.
Since its beginning, Grateful Gatherings has helped over 900 people with not only beds and furniture, but with hope for a new future.
