A gift in your Will can change lives Leaving a gift in your Will can be a powerful way to make a difference in improving the lives of future generations. For over 130 years, the St Vincent de Paul Society (affectionately known as Vinnies) has been advocating for people in the Canberra/Goulburn region experiencing disadvantage. The generous support from people in our community has enabled us to respond to more than 17,500 requests for assistance in the Canberra/ Goulburn region each year. For some of the people we assist, their requests may involve financial advice and support to avert the potential for homelessness. For others, it is the urgent and immediate assistance of food, clothing, furniture and bill support. Beyond emergency relief, we have many specialised support services and programs which aim to help people break the cycle of homelessness and disadvantage. Sadly, the number of people in the Canberra/Goulburn region in need of our support continues to rise. By including a gift in your Will to Vinnies you can ensure that the complex needs of people living in poverty and at risk of experiencing homelessness, are met. We rely on the generosity of our wonderful donors and supporters who have included a charitable gift to us in their Will to continue our vital works. Once you have taken care of your loved ones, please consider including the St Vincent de Paul Society Canberra/Goulburn in your Will.
