Vinnies NSW is proud to present Art for Goodness Sake. Several of Australia's leading corporations and art galleries have donated artworks to this event, which will raise funds to help support the fight against homelessness.
 It culminates in an public exhibition and art auction featuring the donated artworks.

Our project aims to adapt this, giving the art a social value that we hope to realise through “Art for Goodness Sake”.

<h3>Homelessness on our doorstep</h3>
The continued challenges of housing affordability and increasing rents have led to more people than ever before turning to Vinnies for assistance.
Vinnies offers a multitude of services aimed at alleviating homelessness by both seeking to prevent it and assisting those already suffering it.
These include short-term hostel accommodation offering immediate assistance, some with special focus such as victims of domestic violence forced into homelessness. We run many food programs, distributing meals to both homeless and others in needs. We are one of the few charities who build and manage large scale affordable social housing with a full array of services onsite.
This whole spectrum approach enables Vinnies to help people from the time they become homeless to supporting and guiding them through a managed process to help them back into stable living conditions.
During 2022, 59% of people supported through Vinnies’ Homelessness and Housing directorate were transitioned into stable accommodation, such as private rentals, public housing and community housing.
