The St Vincent de Paul Society is calling for volunteers to assist by “shaking a tin” at the Annual Street Appeal on Friday, September 13 from 7am to 6pm in the Perth CBD and Subiaco.
Money raised in the Annual Street Appeal goes straight back into the community, helping the Society to provide emergency relief to struggling individuals and families across WA.
Volunteers can assist at the Street Appeal for as little as one hour or stay for the whole day, and the Society hopes that around 100 volunteers will join staff and conference members to fundraise on the day.
The St Vincent de Paul Society can also provide information to people who are interested in organising a fundraiser for Vinnies in their office on September 13 to coincide with the Street Appeal.
In previous years, office-based fundraising activities have included free dress days, office morning teas or lunches and raffles.
Anyone interested in volunteering or organising a fundraising event for the 2013 Vinnies Street Appeal can contact the St Vincent de Paul Society’s Events Coordinator Stephanie Rullo on 9475 5414 or email fundraising@svdpwa.org.au.
