Bullard Organization Offices Serving as Drop-Off Points for ‘Toys for Tots’

For the 28th year, the Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty organization’s offices are serving as drop-off points for the annual U. S. Marine Corps Reserve “Toys for Tots” campaign. The Coldwell Banker Bullard offices and its affiliate company, Coldwell Banker American Land Mart, will begin accepting contributions the week after Thanksgiving, which is November 26 this year. The final pickup of contributions from these offices will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 22. Linda Mitchell, managing broker of the Bullard’s Newnan/Coweta County office, is coordinating the project for the company.

The Atlanta real estate organization’s offices are serving only as collection points and will 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 Banker American 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; and 407 Covington St., Jackson;. Coldwell Banker American Land Mart has its office at 889 Commerce Dr., Conyers.
