Coldwell Banker Bullard Providing Toys for Tots Drop-off Points

The Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty organization’s offices are once again being utilized as drop-off locations for the annual U. S. Marine Corps Reserve “Toys for Tots” campaign. The annual “Toys for Tots” drive was begun in 1947, and this is the 27th year that Coldwell Banker Bullard has participated in the effort. The Bullard offices will begin accepting contributions on Monday, Dec. 1, and the final day for bringing items to the offices is Sunday, Dec. 23.

Jerry Nesbitt, managing broker of the Jonesboro/Clayton County office and general manager of the Bullard organization, is coordinating the project for the company. The real estate company’s offices are serving only as collection points. Coldwell Banker Bullard does not distribute toys, as this is done through local churches, local Department of Family and Children Services offices, or the Marines. Area residents wanting to contribute can drop off a new, unwrapped toy at a Coldwell Banker Bullard office, Coldwell BankerAmerican Land Mart, or one of the other collection points, and the Marines will take care of the rest, distributing the toys to needy children through local charitable organizations. The website address for the campaign in the Atlanta area is www.atlantatoysfortots.com. For those preferring to contribute money to the campaign, a check made out to “Marine Toys for Tots Foundation” will be accepted. Cash donations will help the Marines buy toys at deeply discounted prices, and donations are 100 percent tax deductible.

Coldwell Banker Bullard offices are located at 238 Stockbridge Rd., Jonesboro; 4295 Jodeco Rd., McDonough; 201 Prime Point, Peachtree City; 1605 East Hwy. 34, Newnan; 244 Odell Rd. (Ste. 6) in Griffin; 407 Covington St., Jackson; and 889 Commerce Dr., Conyers (both Bullard’s Conyers office and its affiliated company, Coldwell Banker American Land Mart, are located here).
