Helping Military Children

Munchkin Mission provides financial assistance to active military families so their children can enjoy some of life's special moments and memories. Our goal is to financially assist active military families, who can't afford recreational activities for their kids or Christmas gifts under their tree because the children of our military heroes deserve to have these amazing memories.
