Giving Hands – Local Businesses, Lasting Impact
In 2024/25 businesses such as Aurora Energy, TasNetworks, Hydro Tasmania, and Pure Foods Eggs have shown extraordinary commitment through ongoing donations, workplace giving, and volunteer engagement. Their partnership helps ensure that Vinnies volunteers can continue responding swiftly and compassionately to Tasmanians doing it tough — especially during times of growing need. The beauty of the Giving Hands program is that businesses of all sizes can get involved. From small local enterprises to major organisations, every contribution — whether time, resources, or funding — helps Vinnies continue its mission of offering a hand up to those in need. Together, through Giving Hands, Tasmanian businesses are helping build stronger, fairer, and more connected communities — one act of generosity at a time.
The Vinnies Tasmania Giving Hands program brings together the compassion and generosity of Tasmanian businesses to create real, lasting change for people experiencing hardship. Through Giving Hands, organisations contribute in ways that suit them best — through financial donations, in-kind support, volunteering, or the provision of products and services — all helping Vinnies deliver practical assistance and hope where it’s needed most. Support from Giving Hands partners directly supports and strengthens Vinnies programs across Tasmania, including Emergency Relief, Dining with Friends and the Vinnies Loui’s Van service, which provides food relief, and connection for people facing homelessness and isolation. It also supports essential programs that provide housing assistance, and ongoing community support for families and individuals in crisis.
