CARE Package

In 1945, the newly formed CARE (then the Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe) initiated a program to send food relief to Europe, where large numbers of people were at risk of starvation in the wake of World War II.

On June 5, 1946, the prohibition against sending CARE packages to occupied Germany was rescinded.

Marie Pierre Kœnig signed the treaty in December 1946, thus permitting the distribution of CARE packages also in the French occupation zone.

[7] Today's CARE Package features ways to support frontline, medical workers, caregivers, individuals in need, and communities in the U.S. and around the world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic with digital, physical, and financial support.

The program will provide monetary assistance, food, and essential supplies to individuals in need and at risk in the form of CARE Packages.
