In 1980 she took over the chairmanship of the local workers' welfare. In the period from 1980 to 1997, the number of AWO members increased from around 50 to around 300 people. It was certified that it was "not just the engine, but the heart of this institution."

She was particularly interested in the children and old people in Unterhaching, in the Munich district and in Croatia .

In the former war zone in Croatia she set up a home for deaf and dumb children and delivered a total of 7.5 tons of relief supplies to the region there.
