Correct!
Back in the 1940s, lard was commonly used as a substitute for butter. A CARE Package including a tin of lard could go a long way, for those who had very little.
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.
