One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference
Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. This year our team is 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, all of us will be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness.
To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, we need your support. Will you help us reach our target? Donating $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.
So far this year we helped provide
52
Individual support programs
136
Beds
547
Meals
Thank you to our donors

You changed my career direction (for the better), mentored me and generally cared. Thank you for being a great person! I walk through the city every day and often think about the others that don't have it nearly as nice as we do. One day I plan on making a big change but until then I'll very happily support in the little ways I can.
