Jindyandy Mill this Saturday, July 21 from 8am, will be hosting the Nowra Makers’ Market with Jindyandy’s historic attractions, café and famous sweet shop open to all visitors. 

For enquiries or to book a stall contact Kim on 0434 432 429.

Since January 2016 the Makers’ Market has raised over $4500 to support the anti-poverty committee’s work.

The market is operated by local residents who are committed to helping build community pride and respect and empowering local people. 

They do this by encouraging other local residents to participate as a stall holder and offer handmade, homegrown or homemade products. 

In return, stallholders donate a portion of their stall fee to the Shoalhaven Anti-Poverty committee.  

Jindyandy owner Sally is excited to host the market during the school holidays and recognises how community participation can make a difference to people’s lives. 

“This sense of community is what makes the market a special place to visit and we’re excited to help,” Sally said.

Last year funds were used to support Paint Shoalhaven REaD Black and Yellow, the annual Prosperity in the Park family fun day, Nowra East Pride’s community respect projects and the Milton Ulladulla Community Resource Centre’s Adult Reading program.

Facilitator of the Shoalhaven Anti-Poverty Committee, Judith Reardon, wants to thank both the previous and the current market committee for their commitment to operating the community group.  

“This year the Anti-Poverty Committee has given to Paint Shoalhaven REaD Black and Yellow to make 100’s of Shoalhaven parents more aware of the importance of reading, singing, yarning and rhyming with their pre-schoolers so they are school ready,” Ms Reardon said.
