In the Philippines, more than 3,000 aftershocks and three magnitude 6.0 earthquakes have been recorded since June 8, 2026 making assessment and delivery difficult and dangerous. Every day that communities cannot be reached is another day without food, clean water, or medical care: care.org/media-and-press/phi…

“The hunger crisis unfolding in Somalia is forcing impossible choices on families,” said CARE Somalia Country Director Ummy Dubow. “It is about mothers deciding which child will eat today and women walking long distances in search of water without access to healthcare. Without urgent action, more families will be pushed deeper into crisis.” Read more: care.org/media-and-press/som…

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. Read the story of how a simple box became an American icon 🧡👇 care.org/news-and-stories/th…

Congrats to @CARE -- and to the world -- on the 80th anniversary of the original CARE package to families recovering from WWII. It was a symbol of American generosity, as CARE still is today.
Wonderful to join Mika Brzezinski and @JonLemire on @Morning_Joe with @CARE Board co-Chair @stengel to mark 80 years since the very first CARE PACKAGE was sent to families recovering from World War II. care.org/carepackage ms.now/morning-joe/watch/cel…

Women farmers are central to fixing broken food systems, yet they remain excluded from the technologies, financing and markets needed to scale solutions. New research from CARE shows that reducing food loss and waste requires gender-responsive design, investment and partnerships. Empowering women farmers can strengthen food security, resilience and climate outcomes globally. @FightPoverty businessfightspoverty.org/wo…

Happy International Tea Day! 🫖 Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world, but for Monica and others, it represents  something more. In 2023, CARE Tanzania and partners established the Sakare Specialty Tea Company (SSTC), the first smallholder farmer-owned specialty tea factory in Tanzania to process its own orthodox (wholeleaf) black, green, and specialty teas on-site.  Despite being unfamiliar with tea processing, Monica took a chance and applied for a job. And in October 2024, she was hired to become a processor.    care.org/news-and-stories/ca…

Conflict in the #MiddleEast is fueling a growing global hunger crisis. In #Somalia, disruptions and rising costs linked to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have caused the price of life-saving treatment for severely malnourished children to more than triple, putting critical care further out of reach for families already facing extreme hunger. As global conflict drives up food, fuel, and aid delivery costs, vulnerable communities are paying the price. care.org/media-and-press/the…
