Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal

Kmart Australia is proud to launch its 36th annual Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal together with founding charity partner, The Salvation Army, once again calling for support with any gift or monetary contributions in-store and online from Thursday 16 November 2023.

With the generous support of the community, the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal has become Australia’s largest and longest-running gift collection drive and has donated over $5.6 million in funding and distributed 10 million gifts to those in need at Christmas. Kmart is aiming to raise over half a million dollars for the Appeal in 2023 as well as collect 300,000 gifts to help those in need at Christmas and beyond.

For those looking to kick start their own Christmas gifting and celebrate the launch, Kmart will be hosting a free community event at their Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre store in Richmond VIC on Thursday 16 September. The space will be open to shoppers all day offering musical entertainment, a gingerbread decorating station, and a ‘spin and gift’ wheel. Throughout the day, select lucky customers will get the chance to spin the wheel, landing on a designated dollar amount ranging from $25-$250. The winner will get to fill their trolley to this value in store, with Kmart matching the dollar value in donations to the Wishing Tree Appeal.
