Many of the children that we serve live in deep poverty, coming from families of migrant farm workers.  Most do not have access to basic healthcare and dental care, and many have never been to a dentist - ever.  All of the services at the clinics are at no cost and in partnership with the local church.

The backpacks have a needed hygiene kit, new socks, and a toy.  Our heart is to express love to these children in a tangible way, not only through the care they receive at the clinic, but also through a backpack!

Every child that comes through a Mission Flight clinic receives a backpack.

For only $35, our team purchases THREE backpacks, hygiene kits, and supplies in Mexico to support their local economy.  All supplies will be bought from local stores in Mexico (i.e. San Quintin, Tepic, etc) and packed by volunteers from the local church together with volunteers from the U.S.

You can sponsor on a one-time basis or monthly basis.

If you sponsor monthly, your impact will be ongoing!

Yes, but we slightly prefer that you sponsor one.  Here's why...

Every backpack that we pack in the U.S. and take to an impoverished area actually hurts their struggling economy in the long run.  Alternatively, every backpack that you sponsor enables us to purchase supplies in the local town, having a long-term economic micro-boost to their economy.  Additionally, it costs us roughly $20 to fly each backpack, with supplies, from the U.S. into Mexico.

With that said, it is indeed very meaningful (for both kids and adults) to purchase supplies and backpacks and donate them.  It is a very tangible way to help and serve those in need.  If you have a strong preference for this option, we are more than happy to accommodate.

Here's the list of things to pack:

- Basic School Supplies
  Pens, Pencils, Crayons, Solar Calculator, Lined Paper, Eraser, etc
- Hygiene Kit
  Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Dental Floss, Comb, Shampoo, Soap
- 2 New Pairs of Socks (must be new)
- Small toy or stuffed animal
- A short note from you to the child
- For BOYS - attach a blue piece of yarn. For GIRLS - attach a pink piece of yarn
- Pray for the child and family who will be receiving it

- $20 check inside each backpack for the cost of getting it to the site and the import tax.
