For nearly 80 years, the CARE PACKAGE® has been more than a box. It has been a symbol of compassion, solidarity, and hope. First delivered in 1946 to families recovering from World War II, the CARE PACKAGE became one of the most recognizable expression of American generosity around the world. Today, they're still helping families facing crisis, providing essential supplies for survival, recovery, and dignity. From postwar Europe to communities affected by conflict, disaster, and displacement today, the message remains the same: no one should face hardship alone.
