Vinnies Tasmania We believe everyone deserves dignity, hope and the opportunity to thrive. Every donation, volunteer hour and act of kindness helps build stronger futures.

We stand beside Tasmanians experiencing hardship, providing practical support when it's needed most.

20/10/2026

Last week, communities came together in both Hobart and Launceston for Anti-Poverty Week, raising awareness, challenging misconceptions and advocating for a future where nobody is left behind.

Thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat, visited the community stalls and shared their hopes for a Tasmania where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

A special thank you to our co-host, CatholicCare Tasmania, and all of our event partners and collaborators for helping make these important conversations possible, including City of Hobart, Loreto Community Housing, Mission Australia, TasCOSS, City Mission, City of Launceston and The Salvation Army Tasmania.

At Vinnies, we know poverty is about more than a lack of money. It's about a lack of opportunity, security and choice. Together, we're continuing to advocate for a fairer Tasmania for all đź’™

“Everyone is treated like a valued member of our community. They have a safe place to come, to be heard and not be judged.”
- Michael, Loui’s Van volunteer

Trust isn't built in a single night.

It's built through familiar faces, conversations and continuing to show up.

For people experiencing hardship or isolation, the connection they build with Vinnies and Loui’s Van volunteers can help create a pathway to further practical assistance and support.

That's why our vans will always be more than a meal.

We're halfway there!

We're halfway through our Vinnies & Loui's Vans Appeal and, thanks to our generous community, we've already reached 50% of our fundraising target!

But we still need your help to keep our vans on the road, providing meals, connection and support to Tasmanians doing it tough.

đź’™ Help us reach our goal and keep hope on the road.

Poverty isn't just about a lack of money. It's about a lack of opportunity, security and choice.

This Anti-Poverty Week, hear from Vinnies Tasmania CEO Connie Digolis as she reflects on the barriers people face, the importance of dignity and connection, and our hope for a future where poverty is a thing of the past.

❤️ Together, we can help build a Tasmania where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Sometimes, a little support can make a big difference.

As living costs continue to put pressure on household budgets, our van volunteers are meeting people who need a little extra help to keep food on the table.

Others may be experiencing homelessness, loneliness or social isolation, with few places they feel comfortable turning to for support.

Whatever brings someone to a Vinnies or Loui’s Van, they are welcomed with dignity, kindness and without judgement.

Your donation helps us continue being there.
