Donate to the Vinnies Christmas Gift Appeal. This Christmas, we are encouraging all Australians to consider what gifts you could give to a child, a teenager or a family at Christmas to help rebuild strength to those in our community who need it most.  We invite you to join the Vinnies Christmas Gift Appeal and light up the face of a child on Christmas morning. Gifts are personally delivered by our dedicated members and volunteers, assisting the people who turn to us and making a difference to their lives. By giving generously this Christmas, you will make such a remarkable difference to the lives of the people we assist and it's your support that will help rebuild someone's strength this Christmas. Please help Vinnies be someone's hero this Christmas.  About Vinnies Victoria: The St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria (Vinnies) and its wide network of over 10,000 volunteers provide practical frontline support, advocacy and friendship for the most vulnerable members of our community. We first began helping people in 1854 in Melbourne and have been active ever since in responding to the changing needs of our community. We provide a variety of services and support for people experiencing homelessness, including the Vinnies Soup Vans; crisis accommodation; refuges for women and children escaping domestic violence; education and recreation facilities offering services in life skills; drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs; disability support; access to medical, legal and financial advice; and much more.
