Lending a hand
Vinnies NILS offers no-interest loans to help purchase essential goods and services with fair, accessible credit for people on low incomes.
Our service is supported by dedicated volunteers, but with the cost-of-living affecting so many Victorians we are needing more support now to help with the rising demand.
