Amber is a remarkable woman who has shown a pandemic cannot stop her passion for helping the homeless or delivering a vital service to this very marginalised community. Amber is married with two children and started Show the Way two years ago when she saw the desperate need for a meal service for the homeless in the Labrador area.
Throughout the pandemic Amber and her team of volunteers delivered hot meals every Monday night in Labrador, at times covered head to toe in PPE, to our homeless and marginalised. When most other food services shut down, she pushed through all the obstacles to continue her service. Amber provides exceptional leadership to the volunteers in the organisation. Amber empowers marginalised women to advocate for themselves, with a kind and guiding hand. She inspires many women to join the organisation, in small and large ways, to help the homeless. Amber has big plans to expand Show the Way by providing a one-stop shop to assist and advocate for all homeless and marginalised women on the Gold Coast.
Where other services are not readily available after hours, It's our mission to hold our weekly community takeaway dinner;
"MONDAY MEALZ" is held at Labrador Community Centre through to Southport. Our team of volunteers assist in handing out hot dinners, dessert, tea/coffee, hygiene packs, bread bags and pantry items to anyone in need 5pm-6pm
We always looking for volunteers to join our team in the:
- Op Shop
- Donation Driver
- Social Media
- Bookkeeper
Our other program that runs from the Op Shop is our “Helping Hamperz” filled with frozen meals, pantry items, fruit, vegetables, bread and toiletries. There are many ways to volunteer please ask us how.
There are 6000 - 8000 homeless men, women and children on the Gold Coast every given night. Together with the help of our local businesses, we turn your contributions/donations into providing meals, clothing and basic necessities to men, women and children in crisis. We as a non profit organisation always in need of further corporate support to make a difference tomorrow and reduce the risk of homelessness.
