Lindfield Uniting Church are tackling domestic violence and homelessness in a community initiative.
For the next Lindara Market on Saturday November 30th, volunteers are sorting and pricing donated goods and treasures to sell. Proceeds from the market will go towards financing a part-time social worker based in Waitara to provide help for families in crisis and those at risk of domestic violence and homelessness.
This Uniting Church community initiative has its roots from the 1980s, and has continued to help around 30 families a year.
‘We get everything from antique jewellery to kitchenware and power tools from downs-sizers, who bring boxes of items for us to sell,’ says volunteer coordinator, Noella Allerding. ‘So many people lend a hand before, during and after the market. They come from all over the neighbourhood, all lovely people willing to come together for a good cause.’
At the Lindara Market, popular stalls include home-made cakes and jams, the $1 books, Devonshire teas, and pre-loved jewellery.
To volunteer with pricing and sorting, sessions are held every Friday 12.30-3pm leading up to the market.
