Impact Awards

Always There: 80 years is just the beginning

For 80 years, CARE has been more than a witness to history—we’ve been part of it. From delivering the world’s first CARE PACKAGE® to leading bold responses in times of crisis, we’ve worked together with communities through conflict, recovery, and transformation.

 

Thank you to those who joined us as we celebrated our legacy and launched the next era of change.

 

At the 2025 Impact Awards, we honored the moments that shaped us—and the people who keep us moving forward. Through immersive storytelling, powerful tributes, and a vision for the future, this special evening showcased what it means to be Always There—for the world, and for one another.
