Today marked the launch of the Kmart Wishing Tree. It was a great occasion at Westfield with the Mayor of Marion (newly reelected) Felicity Lewis doing the honours. The band played well and the channel 7 news team seemed impressed. Brighton PS choir also participated.
The wishing tree appeal has been conducted in Australia by KMart for 23 years. During that time millions of toys have been donated to be redistributed to children and families finding Christmas hard. Here at Marion we collect around 4000 toys each year to distribute to around 400 families. Already the first 180 toys have been donated.
We are always grateful to our corporate sponsors who help us serve the community. Kmart, Bunnings and Westpac are among those that are helping us this Christmas.
