Stuart introduced Ann-Marie
 

Ann-Marie Loebel lives in Caloundra and has been involved with Share the Dignity as a volunteer for the past few years, initially in Darwin and now on the Sunshine Coast. Share the Dignity is a charity that works to make a real, on-the-ground difference in the lives of women and girls experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence or doing it tough by distributing sanitary items to those in need and by working to end period poverty in Australia. 

Ann-Marie’s professional background is in community services, primarily in education and training in disability services. Since retiring, Ann-Marie volunteers with a number of community organisations including Share the Dignity, Boomerang Bags, and at Burnside High with the STEMM program (Supporting Teenagers with Education, Mothering and Mentoring). Ann-Marie is a passionate believer in the power of volunteering to support, connect and contribute to the local community.

Hi Deb
It was great to meet you all this morning. I really enjoyed it!
 
Below is the link to the Christmas Bag campaign, if whoever does your newsletter would like to add it to the information.
 
 
Let me know if you have other bits and pieces for bags for me to collect, and we can arrange a time. At STEMM on the 22nd, if not before!
 
Kind regards
Ann-Marie
