kristin riddick bodendorfer, Founder

Kristin Bodendorfer is the mother of six children. She and her husband of 34 years run a window treatment installation business, The Blind Man. Kristin attended YSU for Early Education and ran her own daycare in California while her husband served in the Airforce before moving to Ohio. Prior to starting DIVA Donations she worked 18 years looking for missing people and reuniting families on several television shows and for Ancestry.com. While raising her 4 daughters she realized what a financial struggle families face trying to send a child/teen to attend a dance/special event. This led Kristin and her daughter to pick up extra dresses to help friends attend a dance. That was the beginning of DIVA Donations.

Tammy Kennedy Engle, President

Tammy Engle, a native of Brunswick, OH, moved to the Mahoning valley 15 years ago. She has her masters degree in special education but chose to pursue a career as a stay-at-home mom after having children. With the help of her physician husband Michael, she quickly became involved with The Mahoning County Medical Society Alliance. This organization allowed her to volunteer on various committees including the Fashion Show and TWIGS, a crafting program for the patients of Akron Children’s Hospital-Mahoning Valley. She has served as their President and Treasurer. In addition to her duties at DIVA Donations, she is also involved in the PTO. Tammy enjoys the joy of giving back, and loves having a local impact
