Things can really stack up for a Vinnies volunteer

The St Vincent de Paul Society Tasmania has warehouse operations across the state. You don’t hear a lot about Vinnies Warehouses, but they are a critical part of our operations. Not a day goes by without the dedicated staff at one of the warehouses being called upon to deliver stock to one of the shops, distribute items to another part of the state, or to ensure that the stock and assets of the Society are secure, sorted, and stored correctly. Hundreds of thousands of items pass in and out of the warehouses every year; and it’s the brilliant team of staff and volunteers that make it all possible. Our warehouses play an important role in supporting our environment by minimising waste and landfill too.
Volunteering in the warehouses is a great way to support the important work of the Society while also developing new skills and gaining valuable experience. The warehouses are responsible for receiving and sorting donations of clothing, furniture, and household goods, which are then distributed to Vinnies stores and other outlets across the state.
