Cindee Alice Tanuma
Executive Director
Cindee has been with Caregivers since 2004, serving as Executive Director since 2006, during
which time the program has grown from a two-person office to an eight-person staff supporting
nearly 400 volunteers and 300 clients. “Working alongside our dedicated staff and volunteers to
assist others is a privilege and an honor,” she says. As a native New Englander, Cindee fell in
love with nonprofits as a teenager through her work with the UCC Churches mission trips and a
year of service with Up With People. She is a graduate of Goucher College where she studied
relational psychology and worked in an AIDS hospice house. After graduation, Cindee joined
Volunteer Maryland within AmeriCorps, developing a self-sustaining volunteer
program. Cindee, her husband, and their two children live on a Goffstown mini-homestead
where they enjoy growing Christmas trees, harvesting apples, and making maple syrup. Cindee
is known for her impeccable memory for names and love of cake.
Donna Kluk
Director of Site Services
Donna first volunteered with Community Caregivers in 2011, joining the staff a year later. In
those early years, she spent a good part of her day carrying equipment up and down flights of
stairs to the Loaner’s Closet, then located on a fourth floor. (“I miss those major workouts!” she
says.) Donna’s past work as a home health aide and her extensive experience with handling
durable medical equipment and donated supplies keeps the Loaner’s Closet humming along
with efficiency and good humor. As a survivor of breast cancer, Donna has a favorite
motivational quote, which sums up her personal mantra: “…Challenge accepted; challenge
achieved!” When she is not at work, Donna loves being Grandma Kiki, working on her sewing
and quilting, kickboxing, hiking, and tending to her cats and dog.
Deb Lucci
Donor Relations Manager
“If I picked a perfect job for myself, it would be the newly created position as the Donor Relations Manager,” says Deb Lucci. Deb worked in the banking industry for many years, most recently as the Vice President of Finance and Human Resources at a local community bank. She joined Caregivers in 2022. “This role uses my finance and customer-service skills, as well as my desire to help people." she says. "Like many of the families we encounter at Community
Caregivers, I am helping my parents navigate challenges that come with age. I am inspired every day by the grace of our clients." Outside of work, Deb likes to spend time gardening and is an avid walker. She loves spending time with her four grandchildren and her grand-dog.
Tricia Adams
Transportation Coordinator
Tricia Adams joined Community Caregivers in 2022 in the newly created role of Transportation
Coordinator. A native New Englander and now a Derry resident, Tricia’s love of community
service started in high school when she founded an AIDS Awareness Committee and took part
in fundraising events throughout the region. Her work alongside dedicated healthcare
professionals introduced Tricia to the value of advocacy and personal support, especially for
seniors. “I am so grateful I had the chance early in my life to experience the feeling that goes
with helping people become more empowered and independent,” she says. Along with her
work, Tricia enjoys coaching her son’s Little League team and cheering her daughter on at Roller
Derby.

Katie Mauro
Grant Writer
Katie joined Community Caregivers in 2023 after working in the public health field, focusing on community health and healthy aging. "The staff and volunteers at Community Caregivers go above and beyond to help our clients stay independent at home for as long as possible," she says. "I'm merely the storyteller and thrilled to do it. Sharing their stories helps us show the impact of the charitable giving entrusted to us. It's my job to quantify the impact of our nonprofit through the numbers. But a few things can't be measured, like the compassion, dignity, and companionship that come with our line of work. Long story short: it's priceless."
