About Vinnies

The cost-of-living crisis continues to impact Australians, with 1 in 7 people and 1 in 6 children living without life’s basic necessities.

Vinnies supports more than half a million people each year with essentials such as food, clothing, household items, bill assistance and emotional support, while connecting them to ongoing services.

As financial pressures grow, more than 3 million Australians have experienced food hardship for the first time in the past six months, and over one-third of people seeking food relief are first-time users, including many dual-income families.
