CARE Package : ウィキペディア英語版
CARE Package
The CARE Package was the original unit of aid distributed by the humanitarian organization CARE (Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere). Although "CARE Package" is a registered trademark,〔(Smithsonian National Museum of American History: "CARE Package" )〕 the term has since〔(Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 been widely adopted as a generic term for a parcel of food or supplies sent for relief or comfort purposes.
==Origin==
In 1945, the newly formed CARE (then the Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe) initiated a program to send food relief to Europe, where large numbers of people were at risk of starvation in the wake of World War II. The organization obtained permission from the United States government to send U.S. Army surplus "10-in-1" food parcels to Europe. The "10-in-1" parcels had been prepared for an invasion of Japan, which never transpired. Americans were given the opportunity to purchase a CARE Package for 10 dollars to send to friends or relatives in Europe. Packages were guaranteed to arrive within four months. Even when a donor did not know an address of a beneficiary, CARE would find that person using the last address known.The CARE package thus became a "missing person" service in the chaos following World War II.
