Coles Miller staff are donating gifts at collection points at the firm’s Poole, Fleetsbridge, Bournemouth and Broadstone offices.
Presents for donation typically include beauty products, books, alcohol and food hampers.
Electrical products are excluded.
Nick Balchin, Coles Miller’s Marketing Director, pictured left, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to support a very worthwhile cause by continuing the kindness of Christmas throughout January.”
