Introducing…

Carolina Bound: A Toy Drive benefitting kids in the Carolinas.

Join us this December in spreading holiday cheer to children and families in need! Zero Mile is proud to present the Carolina Bound Toy Drive, bringing the magic of the season to communities impacted by recent hurricanes. Communities in North Carolina are still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Helene. This holiday season, Zero Mile is partnering with Eblen Charities to deliver toys to families in need, helping to make Christmas brighter for children who might otherwise go without gifts. Eblen Charities runs a mock retail store where families can "shop" for three free gifts. Each child also receives a book and stocking stuffers.

How to Participate

🎁 What to Donate:
We’re collecting new toys, books, and bikes for boys and girls of all ages. Every donation brings joy and hope to a child this holiday season.

Give More, Get More

🎟 Raffle Opportunity:

Making an Impact Together

We’ve partnered with Eblen Charities and Music Allies to ensure that every toy finds its way to a child who needs it most. With your help, we’ll send a truck (courtesy of Music Matters) full of toys to the Carolina communities, spreading love and hope through the gift of giving. Together, we can show the power of community and the magic of music.
