This National Volunteer Week, we honour the incredible individuals who bring our mission to life – our volunteers.

Across Victoria, more than 10,000 committed people generously give their time, compassion and care to support those facing hardship. Whether it’s a warm meal, a home visit, a conversation or a helping hand – you are there.

The 2025 theme, ‘Connecting Communities,’ truly reflects the impact you make. Every effort you contribute helps to create stronger, kinder and more connected communities throughout our state.

Whether you're sorting in our shops, preparing meals in our kitchens, mentoring young people or offering a listening ear – your generosity extends far beyond the moment.

You make our good works possible. And you remind us every day that community, hope and dignity begin with people like you.

From all of us at St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria – thank you! We’re incredibly proud and grateful to have you as part of the Vinnies family.
