One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference
Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness - and this impacts Canberra too. This year I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need. For one night, I'll be sleeping outside to experience and raise awareness of the realities of homelessness.
I would appreciate your help - to support this cause and help break the devastating cycle of homelessness. Will you help me to reach my target? Any small donation can make a huge difference to people who need it most.

'If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?' James 2:15-16 Wishing you all the best for the Vinnies Sleepout! Your act is a powerful demonstration of care, and I hope it brings encouragement to those in need as you experience a small glimpse of what many face daily.
