Vinnies Winter Appeal

We have officially launched our Vinnies Winter Appeal for 2024!

Each year, we run an appeal to raise funds and awareness for people who are struggling in their time of need, particularly this winter season.

We would appreciate it if you could donate any clean blankets and warm clothing you no longer need.

Vinnies Schools SleepOUT

A major fundraiser for the St Vincent de Paul Society is the Winter SleepOut.

Last year, St Agnes' Secondary Schools raised $3000.00 to support people sleeping rough during winter.

What is a Vinnies School SleepOUT?
A Vinnies School SleepOUT allows students and school communities to participate in an experiential event.
Participants construct their own bedding and shelters out of cardboard, a cup of soup, and bread for dinner. They will brave the cold for one night while learning about some of the harsh realities faced by those experiencing homelessness and disadvantage.

It encourages students to understand homelessness more deeply while raising funds and awareness for Vinnies Homeless Services and Programs in the local area.

This year, the Vinnies winter sleepout takes place on:

Friday, the 2nd of August,
at Mackillop College Senior Campus.
Arrive at 6:00 pm and Depart 7:30 am

Participants will need to be dropped off and picked up by their parents or guardians.
