Salvation Army Wishing Tree Appeal
by Ljubenka
A couple of days ago, a bunch of celebrities (including myself), kick-started the Salvation Army Wishing Tree Appeal at Kmart Broadway, Sydney.
Some of the celebrities I shared a stage with included Buddy Franklin, Didier Cohen, Timomatic, Sarah De Bono, Rob Mills, Gretel Scarlett and Xanthe Mallett to name a few. We all donated our time to help spread the message of giving to those less fortunate and to show how easy it is.
Now in its 26th year, the cause is a wonderful opportunity to donate a gift (whether made or purchased), assisting families and people in need at a time of giving and sharing.
The Salvation Army is hoping to receive 500,000 gifts this Christmas season. Gifts can be placed under the Wishing Tree located in Kmart stores throughout Australia and there is the option of making a cash contribution.

Media and the general public were present — even Santa Claus made an appearance.
What will you do this holiday season to help those less fortunate and in times of need?
What cause or charity do you like to ‘give’ to?
Why do you think it’s so important to ‘give’ or ‘donate’?
