Working for Good in St. Joseph

Celebrating Women in Our Community

It's International Women's Day, and we're highlighting a few of the many women working for positive change. You're invited to hear their stories and learn about their efforts, in this program open to all. Light refreshments will be served.

Ann Irvin is the president and CEO of Sparkle Peach, Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides resources such as menstrual hygiene products, bladder incontinence products, and educational resources on feminine health. Ann followed in her mother's footsteps, becoming active in the community and committing herself to giving back.

Cheyenne Dorrell-Giles is the Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters (St. Joseph), an organization with the mission of supporting a child’s "biggest possible future by matching them with a caring, adult mentor in a one-to-one friendship." Cheyenne is also an actor and musician, and an artist whose beadwork connects her with Indigenous ancestors.

Marcela Villaseñor Hamilton's commitment to St. Joseph is evident in her volunteering - getting involved in ways to support youth and families with local resources, serving actively with her church, supporting immigrants as they adjust to their new communities, and connecting people across languages and cultures.
