About the Business
Welcome to Vinnies, located at 218 High Street, Cranbourne, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, Vinnies is more than just a store. We are a part of the St Vincent de Paul Society, offering over 200 services to help those in need.
At Vinnies, our mission is to support Australians facing poverty and provide them with practical support to ease their burden. We believe in giving people a choice and helping them cover the basics when they don't have enough money. With a longstanding commitment to supporting constitutional recognition of Australia's First Nations peoples, we strive to combat social injustice and assist those in need.
With more than 45,000 members and volunteers across Australia, the St Vincent de Paul Society works tirelessly to make a difference. Internationally, we operate in 153 countries and have over 800,000 members. Our values of loyalty, understanding, and service guide us in establishing relationships based on respect, trust, and friendship.
We not only provide immediate assistance but also work towards transforming the causes of poverty and challenging human injustice. Our commitment to spiritual growth, innovation, and hope for the future drives us to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.
As a nominating organization for the Australian Government's School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI), we are dedicated to ensuring equal opportunities for all. We are always seeking motivated, community-minded individuals to join our programs, events, and services nationwide. There are many ways you can help make a difference.
We firmly believe in speaking out against the causes of poverty and inequality. Through our advocacy efforts, we aim to create a more just and compassionate society for all.
Stories like Samantha's, who turned her life around with a helping hand from Vinnies, inspire us to continue our work. We have also supported individuals like J, who was injured after being retrenched, and D, who found herself unemployed for the first time in her life.
As a lay Catholic organization, we are committed to acknowledging that we are on Aboriginal land and paying our respects to all traditional custodians. We also acknowledge the images of deceased members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community on this website with the utmost respect and appreciation.
The St Vincent de Paul Society National Council of Australia Inc. is endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient. We are grateful for your support in helping us make a difference in the lives of those in need.
Join us at Vinnies and be a part of our mission to create a more compassionate and just society.

Reviews
"I shared my experience yesterday which I can not find now strange anyway St vinnies was selling the item the same as the normal shop price I pointed it out as it is suppose to be that bit more affordable for the people the man was rude so I call the manager Kim in the Cranbourne store the next day and told her what happened she just did not want to know what a joke this is not for the way they should treat people I will never donate or be in their store again"
"So here we go ! . I wasn't sure where to post this but given it's the same organization, it's best here. Your church, charity, business, run's soup vans, I see one regularly at Narre Warren! . I assume it's origin he's something to do with your Cranbury op shop One of your clients, recently seriously assaulted me , causing injuries which can't be fixed I guess being a church you believe in the religious ideology of " saving" all people even if evil I will make it clear, thus assault wasn't in the presence of your van membes , nor were they in the area, However , your church as another in Narre Warren, helps violent junkies, mental health patients , ex crims, etc . The person who assaulted me is regularly given free food by vinnies Why are you helping the lowest of the low, of society? I have also posted a review about another local place who helps him . I will not accept, excuses like drug and alcohol use, mental health, a.d.h.d , he was bullied at school, mummy didn't love him . Plenty of people, have issues and aren't violent , your van along with another organization shouldn't be allowed to set up around a commercial shopping centre precinct, given some of the clientele you serve I certainly won't donate even $1 to , any church based charity ever Isn't it ironic? , How Centrelink pays junkies DSP , yet they can't work They're fit enough though to attack a senior, I'm in that age range .. If vinnies aren't happy with my review tough I don't intend on removing it The attack your client committed, is on camera , but won't be reported what hope do I have of justice, when Vinnie's and transit church will just take a clients side"
"Lovley shop with some reasonably priced items, biggest negative is the two larger guys I've met on occasions when making donations, they have a serious attitude problem and are put out if you donate items that then need to be sorted. I.e a bag with mixed items. No thanks just disgruntled huffing and puffing. They may be volunteering but manners cost nothing."
"Vinnie's appreciate the goods that I donate, they don't throw out 90% of what you donate like Salvo,s do.. Sale prices are reasonable too if your a buyer.. I had quite a few bad experiences whilst trying to donate good new clothes at Salvo store in Cranbourne Nth, especially when I discovered most of my donations ended up in the dumpster.... just disgusted I was.. I was in Salvo store a few days ago, all you could hear is the staff in the back room smashing things that were kindly donated by genuine public being smashed in the bins.."
"Great place to shop and they have huge collections as well. Also, I like that they have 3 fitting rooms!"
