Miles To Go Charities was founded in 2018 by a 9 year old boy who saw a need in his community. His strong desire to help the homeless in a meaningful way led to the creation of Miles To Go bags, filled with intentionally curated essential items. To date, Miles To Go has distributed over 13,000 bags to the homeless here in Central Florida. Join us in supporting this community-focused effort with your participation in our 4th annual 5k Run/Walk Fundraiser.
