As part of this appeal, Vinnies is organising a winter sleepout where members of the community sleep out on 27 August with a cardboard mattress, to raise funds for the homeless in this area. While it is for people over 18years of age it does not stop others from joining in.  The Bowral Vinnies Team has a dedicated website for donations.  

Here is a link to the Vinnies Sleepout fundraising page.  The President of Vinnies Bowral (Bruce Cowan) and Nathaniel Smith State MP for Wollondilly wil be participating in the sleepout.
