About The C.A.R.E. Organization

Founded by Friendship, Fueled by Purpose

The C.A.R.E. Organization was founded in Arizona by two best friends with a shared passion for helping children in need.

We believe every child deserves safety, stability, and the opportunity to thrive.

Our mission is to provide relief, support, and hope to children facing hardship.

What our logo means

A child's handprint. A door left open.

“It is a child's handprint that's been painted. There's different colors. Every one of those colors signifies one of CARE's initiatives.”

“The circle that's around CARE is purposely left open… we always said we would never turn away a child. So our doors are always open to children in need.”
