Vinnies Umina Beach

Welcome to Vinnies Umina Beach, a remarkable institution located at West Street, 344 in the beautiful coastal town of Umina Beach, Australia. As an establishment, point of interest, and store, we are proud to be part of the St Vincent de Paul Society, an organization that offers over 200 services to help those in need.

At Vinnies, we believe in supporting constitutional recognition of Australia's First Nations peoples, and we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of individuals and families facing financial hardships. When families struggle to cover the basics, we are here to alleviate their burden with practical support. By choosing to support Vinnies, you are giving Australians facing poverty another choice and helping them build a better future.

The St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia consists of more than 45,000 compassionate members and volunteers who work tirelessly to assist people in need and combat social injustice across the country. Our impact extends internationally, with operations in 153 countries and a global membership of over 800,000.

Our institution is guided by a set of core values, including loyalty in service to our mission, vision, and values, welcoming and serving all without judgment, and promoting inclusivity regardless of creed, ethnic or social background, health, gender, or political opinions. We strive to establish relationships based on respect, trust, friendship, and perception, while also working to transform the causes of poverty and challenging the root causes of human injustice. We encourage spiritual growth, welcome innovation, and instill hope for a brighter future.

Vinnies Umina Beach is proud to be a nominating organization for the Australian Government's School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI), which aims to bridge the digital divide and provide equal opportunities for all students.

We are always seeking motivated, community-minded individuals to join us in our programs, events, and services nationwide. There are various ways you can make a difference and help those in need through Vinnies.

Your contribution can provide a hand up, just like it did for Samantha, whose life has been turned around with the support she received from Vinnies. J, who was injured at work and faced unemployment, and D, who lost her job for the first time in her life, have also found solace and support through Vinnies.
