CARE was founded in 1945, when 22 American organizations came together to rush lifesaving CARE Packages® to survivors of World War II. Thousands of Americans, including President Harry S. Truman, contributed to the effort.

Today, you can contribute to the modern CARE Package by lending your voice to the movement to bring real and lasting change to poor people all over the world.

You can add your voice and make an impact this year by joining us at the 2014 CARE National Conference & International Women’s Day Celebration. For two days in March, we will gather in Washington, D.C., to honor advances girls and women have made – and ask Congress to help build on these successes.

March 5

On the first day of the conference, we’ll learn more about critical issues that poor people grapple with each day and how CARE’s making a difference.

March 6

Equipped with knowledge and stories from the field, spend the last day of the conference delivering our valuable message on Capitol Hill.

The 2014 CARE Conference & International Women’s Day Celebration is a chance for you make a meaningful difference in the lives of poor girls and women, their families and communities around the world.
