The Christmas Wishing Tree appeal has once again been launched in Dandenong Kmart.

The store kicked off the appeal on 13 November with a $429 cash donation and $120 of toys for young children.

Operations manager Vesna Zizic said the campaign welcomed cash donations as well as the ‘traditional’ gift-wrapped toys.

“With this the Salvation Army can buy presents for the mum, dads, grandparents so that they don’t miss out and have a special gift for Christmas.”

The 32-year campaign has raised about 8 million gifts for people and families doing it tough around Australia.
