We are delighted to invite you to the Kmart Kotara launch of its iconic Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal together with founding charity partner, The Salvation Army, in store tomorrow Thursday 10th November 2022.
This year marks a historic milestone of reaching 35 years of supporting those doing it tough in communities across Australia. The need for the Appeal is greater than ever-before, as many Australians face into cost-of-living pressures such as increased electricity and food prices and rising interest rates seeing the financial strain on many individuals and families rapidly increasing.
Long standing charity partner, The Salvation Army, is anticipating this Christmas to be one of the busiest they have ever seen. Research conducted by The Salvation Army last Christmas found that a staggering 83% of those surveyed and presenting to the Salvos were struggling to afford Christmas presents for their children and more than half (56%) could not afford a meal on Christmas Day.
