Ray White staff are collecting gifts to bring some festive cheer to needy families across Mahurangi. Homebuilders social services in Warkworth distributed 300 gifts collected at the Ray White offices last year.

Co-owner Paul Gothard says they like to donate the gifts locally at Christmas. The appeal started in 2012 and all gifts are tagged with an appropriate age range for boys or girls.

Donated gifts can be left under the tree at any of the Ray White offices in Warkworth, Snells Beach and Maungaturoto.

The appeal closes on Wednesday December 21.
