Vinnies Shops turn 100 this month! What do you think Vinnies has brought to the Forbes community?

October 14, 2022 by Maggi Barnard

Helen Smith – St Vincent de Paul Society Conference president Forbes: Vinnies shops do a wonderful job by providing a cheaper option to find good and quality goods. The conference and shop are like a community where people care for each other.

Tanya Godden – Vinnies NSW Regional Retail Manager: Vinnies shops have become sought after for treasure hunters and those after expensive labels but at a bargain price. Also, the volunteers need Vinnies as much as Vinnies need volunteers.

Bev Parsons – volunteer for over 20 years: Volunteering brings me fulfillment and enjoyment. We are a great bunch of people and have lots of joy and lots of laughs. It is a pleasure to be here, listen to people’s stories and feel like you’ve made some difference.
