Pick It Forward
for Orphans
“Lord, as you have called me to do, I share a portion of my heart and home for the orphaned.”

Our First Project
Orphanage Playground
Our Story
Organized by dedicated volunteers who love Christ, we feel called to create a way for others to share a portion of their hearts and homes for vulnerable children to include children who have been orphaned. Many members of our group went on a mission trip to Panama in 2013. We saw firsthand how the children did not have a playground, so we held a garage sale to raise money for equipment. We raised more than $3000 and decided to become a 501c3 charitable organization so we could continue to raise money to support projects for orphans.
Our Projects
Trisker Orphanage
We believe that caring for orphans is close to the heart of God, and it’s a calling we’re honored to take part in. Supporting Trisker Orphanage in Panama allows us to live out our faith by helping meet the daily needs of vulnerable children — providing food, shelter, education, and love. These aren’t just physical needs; they’re acts of hope that reflect the hands and feet of Christ. We believe that every child matters to God, and together, we can help them know they matter to us, too.
Ngobe Comarca
On the Ngöbe Comarca in Panama, we’re committed to sharing the hope of the gospel while walking alongside families in the everyday challenges they face. Many communities lack access to basic resources, so ministry here means offering both spiritual encouragement and practical support. From providing food and clean water to equipping leaders and teaching God’s Word, we believe meeting physical and spiritual needs go hand in hand.
Mission Impact
“Seeing the pure joy in the faces of those children, despite having so little, touched my heart in a way I will never forget. Their laughter and gratitude re-shaped how I view my own life, teaching me to cherish simplicity and hold tightly to what truly matters. They left an imprint on my soul that continues to guide the way I live each day.”
“We love Pick It Forward because we know every penny we give, every fundraiser we work, and every mission trip we support helps less fortunate children experience the love of their heavenly father. We get the privilege of being the hands and feet of Jesus for these beautiful children.”
“Pick It Forward helps provide so much that is needed by orphans in various countries. Missionaries are able to go to be the hands and feet of Christ by doing acts of love and service to orphans and those that live in poverty. I love serving the lord through this wonderful organization.”
We’ve Raised Over $1,000,000
The funds raised have allowed us to extend generosity in meaningful ways, providing practical help and heartfelt hope to children in need. Together, we’re making outreach more effective and rooted in love.
