Pack For a Purpose Mission

Connecting travelers with in-destination service providers who deliver purposely packed donations to local communities around the globe.

The Philosophy

There is much need around the world, especially in popular travel destinations.

And there are many travelers who want to make a meaningful contribution to the locations they visit.

Our goal is to connect travelers with community projects where they visit.

This is the genesis of how Pack for a Purpose was started by emeritus founder, Rebecca Rothney in 2010. A global initiative that encourages travelers to make a meaningful contribution to the communities they visit by dedicating a small space in their luggage to essential supplies.

Travel Elevates, a non-profit foundation that leverages global travel partnerships to help build sustainable communities in much traveled destinations. We are happy to no have Pack for a Purpose under our foundation umbrella.

We proudly offer Pack for a Purpose as a main resource to our travel advisors and travelers worldwide.
