Sleeping out in solidarity with those doing it tough

On Thursday 20 June, members of the Catholic Development Fund (CDF) team will once again take part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout—raising vital funds and awareness for Australians experiencing homelessness.

At CDF, we are driven by a deep commitment to human dignity, compassion, and justice—values that guide our mission to serve those most in need. That’s why we’re proud to support the St Vincent de Paul Society, whose work offers shelter, support, and pathways to stability for individuals and families facing hardship.

This one night is a powerful reminder of the challenges many face every day—and a way for us to respond with empathy and action.

We invite you to support our efforts and help create lasting change.
