Join the rapidly growing Vinnies Van team in Newcastle and surrounds. The Vinnies Van team sets up on various locations and we need drivers to drive the van to and from location, transporting the volunteer team to undertake the van service.

The Vinnies Van is part of a state wide fleet and provides vital outreach services to community Members. In Newcastle, the vans team serve warm cuppas, fruit, snack packs and provides vital referral pathways to the incredible Vinnies Hunter Services.

The Van stops cover a diversity of people (and sometimes their loveable pets). Some stops are busier than others however the key component is providing that connection and outreach to those in our community.
