Dianne Weed

FOUNDER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dianne is a visionary who is not afraid to dream big. As an adoptive mother, she knew the needs of children in foster care and wanted to do something to help. Drawing on her past experiences in merchandising, design, and non-profit leadership, she created a space where children in foster care could have their needs met in a way that brought them dignity and encouragement. She created a truly magical place, and stays involved in every aspect of the organization. She spends countless hours behind the scenes overseeing all aspects of marketing, fundraising, and program development for The Twig - while also getting her hands dirty (sometimes literally) through sorting clothing and organizing the store itself. Her vision and hard work have made her dreams into reality - creating a place where children in foster care could be encouraged and inspired. Dianne and her husband Lloyd have been married for over 40 years.​
