Hitting the runway for the annual Vinnies Fashion Show was a host of volunteers from five of our Vinnies Shops: Footscray, Newport, Moonee Ponds, Ascot Vale and Hoppers Crossing.

Items showcased in the show came from our shops and were presented an an outstanding and creative way. Needless to say, our volunteers had a great time strutting their stuff down the runway.

Thank you to all who participated and you can read more...the Vinnies Fashion Show was featured in The Guardian with wonderful images by photographer, Eugene Hyland/The Guardian. 

David found out how easy it is to lose everything and be pushed into homelessness.

All his life he worked hard but then the work dried up and he found himself unable to pay the rent. It was a devastating shock. In a few short months, he went from a well-paid job to sleeping in a park.

All it took was one sudden setback and David was sleeping rough.

This winter, more and more people like David are being pushed into homelessness. All it takes is one sudden crisis.
