The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have teamed up with NSW Premier Chris Minns to launch a brand new Vinnies Van, tackling hardship across the state like a well-executed tackle on the footy field.

The purpose-built Isuzu Tradepack truck, funded by the NSW Government, will serve inner-Sydney each night, providing food and support to those in need.
In true Vinnies Van fashion, over 102,000 people were supported in the past year, with a whopping 95,000 meals dished out along with 85,000 snack and toiletry packs.

With 13 Vinnies Vans scattered throughout NSW, including spots like Greater Sydney, Wollongong, and even Orange, the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW is hitting the streets like a seasoned rugby league team hitting the field on game day.

Cheers to the Bulldogs and Premier Minns for stepping up to the plate like true champions.
