Under our country's prosperous veneer, there is a significant group of people struggling to survive.The St Vincent de Paul Society is deeply committed to assisting people in need and reaches out to millions of Australians every year through a range of services including home visitation; volunteer-run shops; youth programs; soup vans; assistance for asylum seekers and refugees; compeer programs for people experiencing mental illness; education and tutoring; accommodation services; and health services. The St Vincent de Paul Society welcomes an opportunity to work closely with all members of our community – visit www.vinnies.org.au to get involved.
