St Vincentde Paul

St Vincent de Paul—known to many as Vinnies—has been a cornerstone of support in Auckland for over a century. With a mission rooted in compassion, dignity, and community, Vinnies offers everything from quality second-hand goods to emergency food parcels, youth programmes, and wraparound support services for whānau doing it tough.

You’ll find Vinnies op shops scattered across the city, stocked with affordable clothing, furniture, books, and homeware. Every purchase directly helps fund their charitable work, so shopping second-hand here feels good in more ways than one.

Behind the scenes, Vinnies is busy delivering practical help to those in need—whether that’s through advocacy, food support, or helping people into housing. They also run volunteer and youth development programmes that empower young people to give back to their communities.

Grounded in aroha and driven by purpose, Vinnies Auckland is a vital part of the city’s social fabric—making a real difference, one act of kindness at a time.
