Joanne Nicholson – Founder & Area Manager

Hi, I’m Joanne Nicholson, the Founder and Area Manager of Tots2Teens. I started this not-for-profit charity with a simple but powerful mission: to provide practical support to individuals and families—especially women and children—who are leaving domestic violence situations and starting over.

Through Tots2Teens, we provide essential items like clothing, toys, toiletries, and household goods to help make that transition a little easier and less overwhelming. I believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued—especially during some of the most difficult moments in life.

This work is deeply personal to me, and I’m incredibly proud of the impact we’re having in our community. I work closely with local support services, volunteers, and donors to ensure we can respond quickly and meaningfully to those in need. It’s a team effort, and I’m so grateful to be surrounded by passionate, caring people who want to make a difference.

At the heart of Tots2Teens is the belief that a fresh start should come with dignity, compassion, and hope—and I’m committed to doing everything I can to help make that possible.
