Street Appeal Cancelled - Help us Meet the Need
Because of current COVID-19 restrictions, we’ve had to make the tough call to cancel our Vinnies Annual Street Appeal. This doesn’t stop the challenges our communities are facing and the increasing amount of support services being accessed at our Newtown Hub.
Times are tough at the moment. We need your help to meet the increasing demand for Vinnies Welfare Services, ensuring kiwis have access to the support they need when they need it.
If in a position to do so, please consider donating to the Vinnies Annual Appeal. Every dollar will help keep our services open and accessible to the community.

So we want to hear what you think:

59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
