VINNIES RETAIL NETWORK
Who’s it for? Vinnies Retail network exists for the entire Tasmanian community — offering affordable clothing and homewares, supporting companions in need through provision of free items, and generating vital funds to support the Society’s Good Works across the state. How We Help Our network of 27 stores and two warehouses is the beating heart of Vinnies in Tasmania, being the touchstone for thousands of Tasmanian customers every week. Every purchase helps fund programs that support people experiencing hardship, while every donated item is one less piece of clothing sent to landfill. In 2024-25, 1.56 million items were reused, promoting a circular economy, helping combat fast fashion, while delivering treasures to bargain hunters and affordability to those striving to make ends meet. Our stores are also a place of connection, bringing together paid staff, volunteers, supported employees, and customers in a shared mission to make Tasmania more compassionate and sustainable.
