The holiday season is a time for generosity, compassion, and community—and this year, Carolina Classic Cars and The Hot Rod Shop proudly carried on their annual tradition of giving back through their Holiday Toy Drive, which proved to be a tremendous success.
Thanks to the overwhelming support of the local community, customers, friends, and supporters, the toy drive collected an incredible number of toys to help brighten the holidays for children and families in need. The generosity shown was nothing short of inspiring and truly reflected the spirit of the season.
In recognition of this meaningful effort, the toy drive was featured on the front page of The Denton Orator, highlighting the impact Carolina Classic Cars and The Hot Rod Shop continue to make beyond the automotive world. The article celebrated the community’s involvement and the heartfelt mission behind the annual event.
Following the drive, owner Candace Bongiovanni personally delivered the donated toys to the Randolph Family Crisis Center, ensuring they reached local families who need support during the holidays. The Randolph Family Crisis Center plays a vital role in the community, serving individuals and families affected by domestic violence, abuse, and crisis situations—and these donations helped bring joy, comfort, and hope during a very special time of year.
“We are incredibly grateful for our community,” said Bongiovanni. “This toy drive is about more than cars or business—it’s about people. Seeing everyone come together to support local families is what the holidays are truly about.”
Carolina Classic Cars and The Hot Rod Shop remain deeply committed to giving back and supporting organizations that make a difference in Randolph County and beyond. The success of this year’s toy drive is a reminder of what can be accomplished when a community unites with a shared purpose.
As the new year begins, the team extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated, shared, and supported this annual tradition. Together, we helped make the holidays brighter—and that is a gift that lasts far beyond the season.
