[1][2] The LRK was initially formed to care for the 7,000 war refugees that had crossed into Liechtenstein in the closing weeks and following World War II, where it provided soup kitchens and bathing services for them near Schaanwald, while calling the population of Liechtenstein to donate towards aiding the refugees.

[1][3] Most notably, it cared for soldiers of the pro-Axis First Russian National Army when they took refuge in the country near the end of the war.

[3] Domestically, in 1946 a mother's advice centre was established, in 1948 the LRK expanded to cover family welfare until 1996 and in 1956 a children's home was opened in Triesen, which was later moved to Schaan in 1965.

[6] The provision of foreign humanitarian aid and refugee assistance conducted by the LRK has included the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia,[7] the Vietnam War and after the Revolutions of 1989, in which the LRK also conducted its own initiatives in Eastern Europe through the use of private contacts.
