Get Involved

  • Want to be part of something meaningful? Join our incredible team of volunteers! Whether you're in Houston, El Salvador, or somewhere in between, there’s a place for you at Misión Mochila.
    You can help by:

    • Packing backpacks 

    • Organizing drives 

    • Assisting at events 

    • Reaching out to sponsors or spreading the word 

    Volunteering with us means you’re making a difference one smile at a time.

  • One of the most special parts of our mission is adding handwritten Christmas letters to every backpack. These letters remind kids that someone, somewhere, is thinking of them and cheering them on.

    Would your child like to write a letter? Or maybe your classroom, youth group, or church?
    We’ll send you simple guidelines and make sure your message of love makes it all the way to El Salvador. 

    It’s a small act that brings big joy.

  • You don’t have to give alone—you can rally your community to help us reach more children!
    Host a toy drive, create a birthday fundraiser, run a bake sale, or simply share our story on social media.

    We’ll give you the tools, graphics, and support to make your fundraiser a success. Every dollar counts and every effort matters.

    Together, we can pack more backpacks and spread more love.

  • Your generosity can help change a child’s life. Every donation, big or small, helps us fill backpacks with essential items like school supplies, clothing, hygiene kits, and a small toy to bring joy to children in El Salvador. Whether you choose to give a one-time gift, become a monthly donor, or shop from our wishlist, every contribution makes a real difference. Together, we can spread love, opportunity, and hope—one backpack at a time.
