The St Vincent de Paul Society (The Society) is a lay Catholic organisation and a major international charitable and voluntary organisation, which has been in existence in South Australia (SA) since 1884.
The principal role of The Society is to provide for or alleviate the various needs of disadvantaged people in the community by genuinely addressing poverty and hardship through assistance and advocacy. The Spiritual mission of The Society is to continue the mission of Jesus Christ.
Our core work in SA is to assist people in need and to raise awareness of and advocate against social injustice across the State. We do this through our local member networks, known as Conferences, which operate across 56 communities throughout the State, our 35 Vinnies Centres (shops) and through our Special Works. Special Works include the Vinnies Men’s Crisis Centre (VMCC), Vinnies Women’s Crisis Centre (VWCC), Fred’s Van (10 sites), Vinnies Open Door program, Vinnies Refugee and Asylum Seeker Service (VRASS), Youth and Community Engagement, and a range of other special programs. Special Works support our key strategic work focus areas of homelessness, refugees and asylum seekers and provides support to victims of domestic and family violence.
The Society has around 2500 members and volunteers, as well as over 150 employees.
