New inner-Sydney Vinnies Shop to open on Crown Street, Surry Hills

The first new inner-Sydney Vinnies Shop in 10 years is opening its doors to customers at 547 Crown St in Surry Hills on the 9th of January.
“The Crown St Vinnies Shop is launching with a curated collection of premium brands in stock.
“This is a really exciting time to be a fan of vintage clothing and part of the hunt for treasure Vinnies Shops customers engage in every time they come through our doors,” St Vincent de Paul Society NSW Acting CEO, Yolanda Saiz, said.
“Following on from our 100-year anniversary last year, Crown St joins more than 220 other shops throughout NSW selling quality clothing at bargain prices.
“Crown St will also specialise in selling furniture and books.
“As always, customers making purchases in Vinnies Shops will be raising money to help people experiencing disadvantage and re-using items that would likely otherwise end up in landfill,” Ms Saiz said.
“Vinnies Shops are one of the most effective ways we raise money to help people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, people experiencing domestic and family violence, and a range of other forms of disadvantage.
“And every day our logistics team transports more than 14 tonnes of goods, mostly clothing, from donation points to our sorting facilities and on to our shops and services,” Ms Saiz said.
“Every day, our members are able to provide help to people experiencing hardship because of the funds raised by Vinnies Shops,” St Vincent de Paul Society NSW State Council President, Paul Burton, said.
“In the first quarter of this financial year, we’ve seen a 20% increase in the number of people seeking help from the Society.
“Our ability to raise funds to meet this increasing need makes the opening of new Vinnies Shops like Crown St vitally important.
“Being a customer at a Vinnies Shop helps us provide assistance to people who are most in need.
“It also helps us carry on the proud tradition the Society established more than 100 years ago, with its first shop, when we reuse and recycle quality clothing and goods,” Mr Burton said.
