Lindara Markets - next market on Saturday Nov 30, 2024 8am-1pm
These markets are a joint effort of the Uniting Church in Lindfield and Killara to raise funds to support families who are in crisis and/or homeless on the north shore of Sydney. The proceeds of each Lindara Market helps to fund a professional social worker for the Lindara Families Program. Over $20,000 is raised annually just from the markets to aid the Lindara Family Support Worker to care for approx 30 families, including 50 children annually. More recently these markets are receiving ecumenical volunteer support from other local church groups, including Holy Family Catholic Church in Lindfield and from the surrounding community who drop items for us to sell, or volunteer to help. More information under the "Projects" tab.

2025 Lindara Market dates: Saturdays March 22, July 19 and Nov 22.
