CARE was founded in 1945 to provide relief to survivors of World War II. The relief came in CARE Packages, which were U.S. Army surplus 10-in-1 food parcels left over from the planned U.S invasion of Japan. The service let Americans send the packages to friends and families in Europe. Each CARE Package cost $10 and was guaranteed to reach its addressee within four months.
