Jeanine Garner joined Mother To Mother as its Executive Director in 2017. She spent 17 years working in IT in the healthcare field, most recently as the Director of QA at HCA in Nashville. Prior to that, she worked for a mortgage lending software company for nearly a decade.

But on the side, Jeanine was helping her close friend Janie Busbee with her mission to help those in need. She had been involved with Mother To Mother as a volunteer for four years before deciding to make it a full-time endeavor.

“I decided I wanted to help Janie take the organization to the next level,” Jeanine said. “We had talked about it for about two years before I made the move, but I fell in love with the impact we are making on our community. I love helping those who need it most: babies and children. I love giving the parent or parents some relief in a time of crisis. We are making a difference one child at a time.”

She said she loves it when case workers and social workers refer to Mother To Mother as a ‘one-stop shop’, which is a direct reflection of the hard work of doing everything they can possibly do to secure the items these moms need.
