Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal
Be the hope people need this Christmas with the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal
For nearly four decades, the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal and The Salvation Army have stood side by side supporting those in need at Christmas and beyond.
Now in its 38th year the Appeal has brought joy to countless lives during Christmas delivering gifts and joy to Australians facing hardship, crisis, and ongoing cost of living pressures.
This Christmas, we invite you to once again be the hope people need. Whether it’s a new gift placed under the wishing tree at your local Kmart or K hub, or a monetary contribution made in-store or online, your kindness means you are the hope people need this Christmas.
Thanks to the incredible support of Kmart Group, Kmart Group suppliers and Kmart’s generous customers we can help make a difference in the lives of Australians at Christmas and beyond.
“Making everyday living brighter is at the heart of the Kmart brand. We are incredibly proud to have partnered with The Salvation Army across Australia and New Zealand for nearly four decades to help make a meaningful difference to families that are in need at this time of year.
The Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal is Australia’s largest and longest-running gift collection drive, and it continues to unite our community every year. I want to acknowledge and thank all our team members whose dedication ensures that families doing it tough can experience the joy and dignity they deserve at Christmas.
For 38 years, The Wishing Tree Appeal has helped countless Australians celebrate Christmas, regardless of their circumstances. We’re so grateful that the Appeal has become a tradition at Christmas time, with so many Australians choosing to give back and support others through the Wishing Tree Appeal. Together, we’re making Christmas a little brighter."
