Our Youth Engagement team proudly represented us at the Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF) expo which provided an opportunity to connect with thousands of young people from around the country.

Our team led an interactive expo stall, sparking conversations about the #GoodWorks we do and promoting how young people can get involved by becoming a volunteer with the Society.

Beyond the expo, the youth team and members from across the country ran workshops, social justice activities and even a Vinnies fashion show on the main stage!. The energy at ACYF showed the power of connection in inspiring the next generation of volunteers and members.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this event to life.

Zora is a bright and determined 12‑year‑old in Grade 6. Her family works hard to support her education, but limited resources — largely spent on medication, rent and food — make it difficult to cover school-related costs.

Zora’s future was uncertain until members of the St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria helped pave a pathway to a brighter tomorrow by providing new uniforms, school supplies, food parcels and some financial assistance.

You can help children like Zora start school with confidence by donating the this year's Autumn Appeal.

Victoria's new 2024-2025 Impact Report is now available.

Last year, $18.3 million was provided to assist people in need through:

• $10.3 million in Food Insecurity services
• $5.8 million in Cost of Living services
• $1.6 million in Homelessness services 
• $0.6 million in Education services
