Vinnies’ Charity Clothing Drop-off Day

For close to 160 years, the St Vincent de Paul Society has been assisting people experiencing poverty and disadvantage in the community. Through a strong network of more than 13,000 members and volunteers giving tirelessly of their time throughout the state, and with more than 100 professional services, Vinnies NSW has programs to support people experiencing a range of challenging circumstances from homelessness and domestic violence to financial stress; refugees and asylum seekers; mental health, rehabilitation and addiction; drought and natural disasters.

A major part of Vinnies’ work is to support people who are at risk or experiencing homelessness. Vinnies operates numerous homeless services across NSW which support people in a variety of ways including meals programs; crisis accommodation; access to medical treatments; case management support; education and training with the ultimate goal of helping them to rebuild their lives and find a safe and permanent home.

“If you are in a position to donate to the Clothing Drive, you will be able to make a big difference to the lives of community members in need of support.” said Jack de Groot, Vinnies NSW CEO.
