Fred’s Van

Tuesday, April 23

Service without the sales pitch

I have always felt slightly uncomfortable when I see a group of evangelical Christians set up for the day with their Bible and brochures, often at a suburban beach or some other popular public venue.

Youth helping those in need

Young social justice advocates have banded together to form a Vinnies youth conference, with the aim of making a difference to the lives of those doing it tough.

Cooking up a storm for those in need

Whether it’s one of her delicious sticky date puddings or putting together a hot potato salad, when Mary Dittmar OAM and her team are rostered on at Fred’s Van at Christie Downs, those attending know they are in for a treat.

Catholics recognised in Queen’s birthday honours

A religious Sister and advocate for women, a Fred’s Van volunteer and two tireless workers for community organisations are just some of the South Australian Catholics who have been included in this year’s Queen’s birthday honours list.

Serving a worthy cause

Acts of service go beyond the classroom at St Patrick’s Technical College with the senior secondary school committed to helping those in need.

Rugging up for a cause

As in past years, students and staff at Xavier College are supporting the work of the local Gawler branch of the St Vincent de Paul Society through their annual Vinnies Winter Appeal.

Supporting the vulnerable

In its 10th anniversary year, preparations for the annual Vinnies CEO Sleepout, to be held on Thursday June 20, are well underway.
