Santa’s sleigh was upgraded to a large truck manned by an army of REIWA agents this week, to collect donations for The Salvation Army Christmas Appeal.

“Each year REIWA supports the appeal through its Community REInvest program, collecting donations through participating offices and delivering them to the Salvation Army Headquarters,” REIWA CEO Cath Hart said.

“This is always well supported and while this year people may be feeling the effects of cost-of-living increases and interest rate rises they have dug even deeper to help those in need.

“And it’s not just through the donation of Christmas presents; they’ve given everyday items like nappies, baby formula, washing powder and long-life milk that will help beyond the festive season.”

The donations collected at REIWA’s head office and some 57 real estate agencies throughout Perth and regional WA will be used by The Salvation Army to provide Christmas gifts and hampers for those who need it most.

Ms Hart said she was particularly moved by the stories from REIWA agents who had supported the appeal.

“There was a young property manager who said her parents didn’t have much when she was growing up and she and her brother always looked forward to the arrival of the Salvos Christmas hamper. She really got behind the appeal, enlisting the support of surrounding businesses and her office was overflowing with donations,” she said.

“Another agent has a friend who used to get the hampers and said how grateful they were that the community’s concern and generosity made such a difference to their Christmas.

“And another young agent mentioned his mother, who is now a very successful agent, and was a single mum who relied on Salvation Army hampers at one point. He understood the value of giving to the appeal and was very enthusiastic about taking part.

“It just shows that anyone could need help at some point in their life and the work The Salvation Army does is extremely important. We thank everyone who supported the appeal and helped spread some extra joy this Christmas.”
