As a Toys for Tots sponsor, Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty, in cooperation with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, is once again collecting toys to benefit children in need at Christmas time.

This marks the 17th year that Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty offices have served as Metro South area collection points for the Toys for Tots campaign.

"Thanks to the public's support, we have been able to provide a happier, more memorable holiday for many children," said Jerry Nesbitt, broker for the company's Fayette County office who coordinates the Toys for Tots effort.

The Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty offices where contributions of unwrapped new toys or cash contributions for purchasing toys can be dropped off at 1968-A Ga. Highway 54 in Fayetteville, just east of the Peachtree City limits.
