Kmart Group - Community

Kmart Group strives to create positive change in the communities in which it operates, in collaboration with its team members, customers and partners. The group's community programs are diverse, and focus on supporting families in need across Australia and New Zealand. National community partners include The Salvation Army (Australia and New Zealand), Smiling Minds, Reach Foundation and Australian Childhood Foundation.

This year, Kmart Group contributed more than $10 million to its community partners, through direct and indirect contributions.

Over the Christmas period, the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal raised $7.9 million, collecting over 345,000 gifts and raised more than $500,000 in gift vouchers across Australia and New Zealand, helping The Salvation Army support families in need, up 24 per cent on the prior year.

More than $300,000 has been raised this year for Target’s community partner, the Australian Childhood Foundation, with funds raised supporting their Bringing Up Great Kids Program, which focuses on providing education and resources to parents in need.
