The Vinnies Christmas Appeal brings hope to those less fortunate in these uncertain times. Vinnies will provide material and emotional support to families experiencing immense hardship and struggling to feed their families, pay their bills and put toys under the tree at Christmas time. As the global pandemic continues to push people into poverty, your donation will make a difference in the life of those less fortunate.
Thousands of families are experiencing immense hardship and stress in Australia and this has been made worse by COVID-19. For many that pain is only going to intensify at Christmas, as more people turn to Vinnies for assistance at what should be a happy time of year. As families are placed under greater financial pressures, having no place to call home, being unable to afford a basic Christmas meal or a small gift can be devastating at a time like this.
Over the Christmas period, Vinnies will support thousands of individuals and families by providing food, including vouchers and hampers, clothing, gifts and assistance with rent and utility bills. These acts help to restore hope and dignity to those less fortunate at a time when they could easily feel forgotten and help to give families something to celebrate during the festive season.
The support that Vinnies offers is there for as long as it is needed. As well as providing essential support such as food and housing, Vinnies works to equip those experiencing disadvantage with the contacts, emotional support and practical tools they need to get back on their feet again.
