Earlier this year, Josie, a member of Frankston Seventh-day Adventist Church, brought forward the idea of having a Sunday Market. After working in an op-shop in Seaford and volunteering at a foodbank two days each week, she was inspired and wanted to find alternative ways to outreach to the community.
With Frankston’s local community market closed due to COVID, Josie and her team stepped in to fill the gap. The first market was open to church members only to list items for sale, they could purchase a table for $20 and sell preloved goods, clothes, ornaments, collectables, tools, and religious books.
After receiving great feedback, Josie decided to open the market to community members, inviting them to open their own stalls. With the $20 fee going directly to the church and the profits to those who run the stalls, this gives members of the community who may be struggling an opportunity to make some extra money.
There are already five stalls booked for next month, and Josie is hoping that more members of the church and community will get involved. The Sunday Market is open on the last Sunday of every month from 9 am – 2 pm.
If you would like to open your own stall, get in touch with Josie on 0425 785 951
