Khub Forbes have Launched their annual Kmart wishing tree appeal in conjunction with the Salvation Army. Many families are doing it tough – which is why we’re asking our community to come together and support those who need it most.
The Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal is Australia’s largest and longest-running gift collection drive. It has been helping assist those in need in local communities at Christmas and beyond for over 30 years. Working with the Salvation Army, and with the generous support of our customers, Kmart have donated over $5.6 million and 10 million in gifts distributed to those in need at Christmas. There are six wishing tree champions in every Kmart store – that is over 1300 team members that are dedicated to helping support local communities.
The Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal supports children, adults, seniors and families who are unable to afford gifts at Christmas and beyond Christmas.
With more than 760,000 children currently living in poverty, Kmart alongside The Salvation Army are working together to give hope to Australians who may be struggling with homelessness, illness or family crisis.
Kmart along with The Salvation Army are coming together for the 36th year to help support those doing it tough. We encourage you to embrace the spirit of giving this year by supporting the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal, by making a cash contribution in store, or online, or giving a gift in store. The Appeal runs from 13- 24 December 2023.
Forbes Khub Store Manager wants the local communities to know that “these donations stay local as we work alongside the parkes/forbes salvation army to distribute these gifts”.
