Vinnies has been providing a hand up to people in need since 1865. We are a not-for-profit organisation aspiring for an Australia transformed by compassion and built on justice. We provide services to people experiencing homelessness, poverty and food insecurity.

It is through your contributions as a volunteer that these charitable works are possible. This is because revenue raised through our Retail shops is the driving force behind these works in the community- without them we simply couldn't operate as we do now. As such, they are absolutely pivotal, and therefore volunteering in this area is a very rewarding experience.

Your experience as a Vinnies volunteer will always be varied and interesting, with the opportunity every shift to meet and engage with new people. Some of the key responsibilities of this role are:

• Greet and provide friendly service and assistance to visitors to the Shop. • Assist in sorting, pricing and ticketing donated items. • Create visual displays. • Assist with general housekeeping. • Operate Point of Sale.

These responsibilities might change or be allocated based on the Shop Managers direction.
