Kerrie Gallant
Kerrie Gallant is Executive Director of United Neighbors of Fall River and a lifelong SouthCoast resident whose career—and life—has rarely followed the traditional path. A graduate of a vocational high school where she studied architectural drafting, Kerrie later served in the U.S. Navy as a Damage Controlman before returning to the SouthCoast and building a career spanning business, government, education, and nonprofit leadership. Today, her work centers on strengthening families, building community partnerships, and advancing equity. She chairs the Coalition Against Period Poverty (CAPP) and is active in domestic violence advocacy and initiatives supporting children and families. A former single mother of 20 years, Kerrie brings lived experience, humor, and a healthy willingness to challenge the way things have “always been done.”
