The Lockyer Valley isnât immune to people facing hardship and needing support, according to Gatton Vinnies rep Louise Moore.
The St Vincent De Paulâs Society is calling for donations for its Gatton CBD shop in a bid to help people facing financial pressures and to help with emergency assistance.
But the volunteers have a strong message â if itâs not good enough to give to a friend, itâs not good enough to give to Vinnies.
Ms Moore estimates that 20 per cent of donations in the Lockyer Valley make it to the shop â the rest are dumped.
