Board of Directors

Sheri Sullivan, Founder & President

In 2003, chef Sheri Sullivan, the former owner of Sheri’s Diner and Plan-It Sheri Catering, became a hospice volunteer. She soon began donating meals to hospice patients and their families in her community. Inspired by the difference these meals made, she was moved to create a model that could be replicated in any hospice agency nationwide. She reached out to other local restaurants and chefs, and with their help and the help of friends, started Dinners with Love, Inc., in 2009.
