New York Committee for CARE

NYC skyline

CARE USA was founded in New York in 1945, when 22 American organizations came together to rush lifesaving CARE Packages to survivors of World War II.

With the outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe, CARE’s mission is more relevant than ever. For the first time, CARE aid teams are working on the ground here in the USA, just as CARE reaches a milestone of 75 years in operation. At this unprecedented moment, and to prepare for the road ahead, CARE is convening a consortium of committed citizens in New York to work shoulder to shoulder with CARE USA to build relevant, sustainable solutions to defeat poverty, respond to humanitarian crises, ensure social justice and create a world where all people live with dignity and security. That consortium is the New York Committee for CARE.

The New York Committee for CARE (the “Committee”) is part of a nationwide network of committees that work as a unified force to lead and energize a network of support around a shared vision of investing in women and girls as a force multiplier for change.

At this important moment for CARE – and for the world – we hope you will consider joining this group of committed global citizens in New York. CARE is proud to have strong origins in New York and we hope to add your voice as we lead and fuel a global movement from New York – a city of the world.
