More than seven Swansea businesses were involved in the event.
The event was an extension of the organisation’s CEO sleepout.
The funds raised were used to purchase swags and sleeping bags for the homeless, which were handed over to the society last week.
Vinnes state president Toni Muir said it was wonderful to see communities hosting their own sleepouts to assist those in the state experiencing homelessness.
“It is a comforting thought to know that people do care and collectively we are trying to assist in any way possible,” he said.
