Vinnies calling for zoo sleepers

All creatures great and small were on show at the launch of the 2025 Vinnies CEO Sleepout, which will be held at Adelaide Zoo next month.

Unprecedented calls for help

Rising costs of living, a skyrocketing real estate market, coupled with the impact of domestic violence, are all contributing to an unprecedented number of calls from people asking for help from the St Vincent de Paul Society.

Sleepout raises a record $900,000

Torrential rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the 125 business and community leaders who took part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout at Lot Fourteen on June 17, with a record $907,000 being raised to help fund the organisation’s homelessness services.

School leaders sleep out for homeless

Leaders at Catholic schools braved the cold and slept under the stars last month to raise much needed funds for Vinnies.

Sleeping in to make a difference

Spending time volunteering with people experiencing homelessness and sleeping rough gave Debbie Sterrey a different insight into their lives and has provided the motivation for her participation in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout being held this month.
