Upcoming Projects for 2026

Exciting things are coming to Vinnies Hamilton in 2026!

We’re expanding the ways we support our community, making it easier for individuals and families to access practical help, nourishing food, and tools for a more secure future. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s on the way…

Online Budgeting with Vinnies Hamilton

We’re launching a new online budgeting service, making financial support more accessible than ever.

Get personalised guidance, easy-to-use tools, and real-life support from our team — all from the comfort of your home.

Whether you’re getting back on track or planning ahead, this service is designed to empower you with confidence and control over your finances.

Community Breakfasts & Lunches

Connection starts at the table. In 2026, we’re introducing regular community meals to bring people together in a warm, welcoming space:

Breakfast: Mondays and Tuesdays, 8:00am – 9:30am

Lunch: Wednesdays to Fridays

These shared meals are about more than just food — they’re about belonging, conversation, and starting the day with care and connection.

Vinnies Kitchen – Healthy Meals Made Easy

Vinnies Kitchen, a simple, affordable way to enjoy healthy, home-style frozen dinners.

Perfect for busy families, individuals, or anyone who needs a helping hand with meal prep.

Nutritious, comforting, and convenient — more details coming soon!

Food Caravan – Hitting the Streets in 2026

We’re excited to introduce the Vinnies Food Caravan, a mobile service bringing warm meals, snacks, and friendly support directly to people in our community.

This on-the-go service will help reach those who may find it difficult to access traditional support spaces — meeting people where they are with dignity, compassion, and care.

2026 is shaping up to be a big year for Vinnies Hamilton, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Stay tuned for updates as these exciting new projects come to life.
