Not quite!
Sadly no delicious squares of chocolate made their way over the pond, but the original CARE Packages did contain cocoa powder, which in these difficult times brought just a little glimpse of joy to those who had suffered so much.
Whilst WWII was a long time ago, the need for CARE Packages around the world is just as great today as it was back in the 1940s. Millions of women need urgent access to basic supplies like food, drinking water and hygiene items.
Your donations mean that from food to housing to healthcare, women get the support they need to build a life and to shape a better future. Thank you.
