New Member videos showcase the people behind Emergency Relief support

Member Recruitment videos

Now live on the Vinnies WA YouTube channel, the ‘Become a Member’ campaign highlights the people behind our Emergency Relief services and community programs, while inviting more West Australians to join the St Vincent de Paul Society WA as Members.<o:p></o:p>
The five locally-produced videos give viewers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the Society's grassroots work, featuring Members from the South West, Midland, Kelmscott, Perth Cathedral and Joondalup. 
Through authentic stories and real-life experiences, the videos reveal the many ways Members support people experiencing hardship, from providing practical assistance and companionship through home visits, to running a weekly community kitchen and supporting busy support centres.<o:p></o:p>
