Canterbury League Club partnership raises $16,000 in donations for Vinnies

Vinnies NSW is proud to acknowledge the outstanding results of a month-long donation drive held in partnership with Canterbury League Club throughout May.

Thanks to the generosity of club members and visitors, the donation drive collected an estimated $16,000 worth of high-quality clothing and accessories. These donations are already making a difference—most have been made available for purchase at the Vinnies Bankstown shop, with proceeds going directly towards funding Vinnies NSW services and programs.

This includes crucial support for people experiencing homelessness, individuals escaping domestic and family violence, and families impacted by rising cost-of-living pressures.

Community partnership in action

The donation drive was facilitated through a dedicated drop-off point located at the Club’s main entrance, making it easy for patrons to contribute. The campaign ran under the theme “Bring Your Best”, with an emphasis on donating high-quality pre-loved items to maximise social and environmental impact.

Among the donations were two exceptional designer items: a Bally single-breasted black leather coat in excellent condition, valued at over $8,000, and a Jacquemus 'The Small Soli Basket' tote, valued at $850. Both of these hero pieces will be listed for sale on Vinnies Finds, our new online retail platform, allowing us to reach new audiences while further extending the impact of this donation drive.

A shared commitment to community

This successful collaboration with Canterbury League Club demonstrates the value of partnerships between community organisations and local businesses. By making it easier for people to donate and engage with the Vinnies mission, we are able to broaden our reach and deepen our impact.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Canterbury League Club team for their support and enthusiasm throughout the campaign—and to every person who contributed a donation. Together, you’ve helped turn generosity into real and lasting change.
