To commemorate its 100th Anniversary, BAND-AID® Brand is making a $100K donation to CARE, and asking you to also send CARE Packages to support frontline heroes and deliver other lifesaving aid around the world for the next 100 days. Two iconic brands known for caring are coming together to make a difference.
Together, with your support, we’re delivering items and help that caregivers need most. Send a CARE Package Today!
Here in the United States, caregivers, at-home healthcare workers, delivery drivers, and grocery clerks are on front lines. Give the gift of a CARE Package Gift Mastercard® and your donation will go directly to the frontline workers risking their own health and safety to protect the nation’s most vulnerable people.
In these difficult times, we must come together to support one another. Give today to help people rejoin the workforce while ensuring vulnerable individuals receive food and the critical supplies they need to survive this crisis.
The COVID-19 pandemic is stretching the limits of even the best prepared countries. Yet the world has barely begun to come to grips with how the outbreak threatens the world’s poorest communities. Send help to places in the greatest need.
Out Of War, Came Hope
In the shadow of WWII a small group of Americans came together to help millions of Europeans with the simple, but powerful plan: the CARE Package®. This innovative idea sparked an American movement that would deliver more than 100 million CARE Packages containing food and medicine to war survivors and families around the world, along with the tools and supplies needed to rebuild their lives.
A memoir

BAND-AID® Brand
The first BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandage was born in 1920, and for 100 years, BAND-AID® Brand has been trusted by caregivers around the globe to help make it better, together.
At the end of World War II, CARE introduced the first CARE Package® for the post-war hungry, ultimately delivering 100 million of them to families around the world.
For 75 years, CARE has been helping those in need around the world. In response to COVID-19, for the first time ever, CARE called on all Americans to help deliver new CARE Packages – financial support and messages of hope – to frontline medical workers, caregivers, essential workers and individuals in need around the world.
CARE works around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice.
CARE’s COVID-19 response targets more than 60 countries worldwide, including the United States. Priority actions we are taking now include providing health and hygiene kits, installing handwashing stations in public places, and providing clean water where it is scarce.
