TravelSmiths & Pack for a Purpose

At TravelSmiths, we believe that travel isn’t just about the places you go—it’s also about the difference you can make along the way. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Pack for a Purpose, a nonprofit organization that empowers travelers to bring essential supplies to the communities they visit.

What is Pack for a Purpose?

Pack for a Purpose makes it easy for you to support local schools, clinics, and community projects by using a small amount of space in your suitcase to carry much-needed supplies. Whether it’s notebooks for students, medical items for health centers, or basic necessities for families, your contributions help create meaningful change—right at your destination.

How It Works

  1. Choose your destination

  2. Visit Pack for a Purpose to see what supplies are needed

  3. Pack a few pounds of items in your luggage

  4. Deliver them to the drop-off point arranged by your resort or travel provider

It’s simple, impactful, and deeply appreciated by the communities served.

Why give?

  • Make Your Vacation More Meaningful

    By setting aside just a little space in your suitcase, you can directly support schools, clinics, and families in need. It’s an easy way to turn your getaway into something truly giving.

  • Support Local Communities

    Your supplies go straight to trusted local organizations making a real difference. Every notebook, bandage, or pencil helps build a stronger future for the community you’re visiting.

  • Small Effort, Big Impact

    Just five pounds of supplies can serve dozens of children or help a small clinic for weeks. It doesn’t take much to change lives.

  • Give Back Without Spending More

    There’s no donation fee or extra travel needed—just use the room in your luggage to bring items already requested. It’s a cost-effective and deeply appreciated gesture.

  • Feel Connected to Your Destination

    Packing with purpose helps you engage with the people and culture beyond the resort. It transforms you from a visitor into a thoughtful contributor.

  • Travel Responsibly and Sustainably

    Being a conscious traveler means respecting and uplifting the places you explore. Packing for a Purpose is a simple, impactful way to travel with heart.
