The shops are already starting to promote Christmas, but not everyone can afford new gifts.

Coldwell Banker Bermuda Realty and the Coalition for the Protection of Children have teamed up for the 12th annual Toys for Tots Campaign, collecting new toys to be given to underprivileged children.

Each year the Coalition supports a minimum of 500 children, ranging from newborns to age 16 through the initiative.

Members of the public are invited to deliver toys to Coldwell Banker at Atlantic House, 11 Par-La-Ville Road from Wednesday to December 5. There are also several drop-off points to be announced soon.
