Victoria 2025

One night can make a whole lot of difference

This year marks 15 years of the Vinnies CEO Sleepout in Victoria. In that time, we've learned homelessness isn't just about unemployment – family violence, health issues and financial shocks can push anyone into crisis. Rising living costs and housing shortages are making things worse.

Homelessness isn’t a life sentence. With the right support, lives can turn around. For 50 years, our Soup Van has provided food, connection and a path to stability, but demand is now outpacing our capacity to help. That’s why we’re asking leaders to help us raise $1.8 million to expand this vital service and help us #DriveTheChange.

I need your support. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.
