Vinnies Cessnock

Welcome to Vinnies Cessnock, located at 55 Vincent Street in Cessnock, Australia. As an establishment, point of interest, and store, we are here to provide practical support to those in need. The St Vincent de Paul Society, to which we belong, offers over 200 services that assist people facing poverty and social injustice.

At Vinnies Cessnock, we believe in helping families who may be struggling to cover the basics. Our dedicated team of over 45,000 members and volunteers work tirelessly to combat poverty and inequality across Australia. We also support constitutional recognition of Australia's First Nations peoples, reaffirming our commitment to inclusivity and respect for all.

Our mission, vision, and values guide our every action. We strive to serve and welcome everyone without judgment, regardless of their creed, background, health, gender, or political opinions. We aim to establish relationships based on respect, trust, friendship, and perception, empowering individuals to overcome the causes of poverty and human injustice.

As a nominating organization for the Australian Government's School Student Broadband Initiative, we are proud to contribute to bridging the digital divide. We are always seeking motivated individuals to join our programs, events, and services nationwide. Your involvement can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.

Through our efforts, we have witnessed countless success stories. Samantha, for example, has turned her life around with a helping hand from Vinnies, ensuring a bright future for her and her children. Similarly, individuals like J and D, who faced unexpected challenges later in life, found support and guidance from our organization.

As a lay Catholic organization, we are committed to building a just and compassionate society. We acknowledge that we are on Aboriginal land and pay our respects to all traditional custodians. Please note that this website may contain images of deceased members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, which are used 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. Your support and donations enable us to continue our vital work in the community.

Join us in making a difference. Together, we can create a more equitable and compassionate Australia.
