Vinnies appeal focusing on older women homeless risk

THE increasing number of older women experiencing and at risk of homelessness will be the focus of this year’s Vinnies Winter Appeal.

St Vincent de Paul Society NSW CEO Yolanda Saiz said the annual appeal was crucially important in helping Vinnies support people experiencing disadvantage and hardship, “particularly the concerning number of older women experiencing or at risk of homelessness”.
Funds raised through the appeal will be used to provide assistance with food, clothing, household bills, specialist homelessness services and support people in need to find and maintain secure housing.
Donations can be made at vinnies.org.au, 13 18 12 and at all Vinnies Shops.
