Vinnies Kilmore

Welcome to Vinnies Kilmore, a well-established institution located at 132-134 Powlett Street in Kilmore, Australia. As a point of interest and store, Vinnies Kilmore is part of the St Vincent de Paul Society, which offers over 200 services to help people in need. With a longstanding commitment to supporting constitutional recognition of Australia's First Nations peoples, Vinnies Kilmore strives to make a positive impact on the community.

At Vinnies Kilmore, we understand that many families struggle to cover the basics due to financial difficulties. That's why we provide practical support to ease the pressure and give Australians facing poverty another choice. With over 45,000 members and volunteers across Australia, the St Vincent de Paul Society works tirelessly to assist those in need and combat social injustice. Internationally, the Society operates in 153 countries and boasts over 800,000 members.

Our institution is guided by a set of core values, including loyalty in service, welcoming and serving all without judgment, and promoting inclusivity regardless of creed, background, or political opinions. We establish relationships based on respect, trust, friendship, and perception, and we are dedicated to transforming the causes of poverty and challenging human injustice. Additionally, we encourage spiritual growth, welcome innovation, and strive to give hope for the future.

Vinnies Kilmore is proud to be a nominating organization for the Australian Government's School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI), demonstrating our commitment to providing opportunities for education and digital inclusion. We are always seeking motivated, community-minded individuals to join our programs, events, and services nationwide. There are various ways you can help make a difference.

The St Vincent de Paul Society is actively engaged in speaking out against the causes of poverty and inequality on behalf of the people we serve. We have countless success stories, such as Samantha, whose life was turned around with a helping hand from Vinnies. Now, she and her children have a bright future ahead of them. We also support individuals like J, who was injured at a part-time job after being retrenched, and D, who lost her job just before her 64th birthday.

As a lay Catholic organization, we are dedicated to creating a more just and compassionate society. We also acknowledge that we are on Aboriginal land and pay our respects to all traditional custodians. 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.
