Change lives one lunch box at a time
Life changed dramatically for Linda when she took on the care of her two young grandchildren, Lily and Jack, while living on a small pension. Despite the joy and love they bring every day is a struggle to make ends meet.
Her limited income is stretched thin covering rent, utilities, her own medication, and the special skincare Lily needs for her eczema. Linda dreams of giving Lily and Jack nutritious meals and the best chance to thrive at school, but the weight of her worries is constant.
That’s when Linda turned to Vinnies and found hope.
Now, she can provide school lunches filled with fresh fruit and nutritious sandwiches and receive assistance with school essentials.
“Every time I'm with Vinnies I feel so grateful. The food and support we receive helps me care for my grandchildren and brightens our days. Knowing that generous people make this possible, fills me with hope and reminds me that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in our lives.”
Make a difference today.
Donate a gift
Every contribution big or small helps provide essentials like stationery, backpacks, nutritious lunches, and assistance to families and individuals who are struggling with the cost of living.
Together, we can help children dream big and build a brighter future!
Give every child a chance to succeed at school
Going back to school is hard but for the 1 in 9 children in Western Australia living in poverty*, it is nearly impossible.
With cost-of-living pressures growing, vulnerable families like Linda's are struggling to afford school essentials like uniforms, and nutritious meals — making it harder to give their children the education they deserve.
Without the right support and resources, children across our state will struggle to keep up in the classroom and are more likely to fall behind.
But you can change this.
We urgently need to raise $50,000 to equip disadvantaged families in WA with the essentials they need to make the most of their children's education this year.
Because no child should be left behind.
Together we can show them that we're here when times are hard.
Donate now to give children the start they deserve—a real chance to learn, grow and build a brighter, happier future.
