CARE Alabama History

CARE Alabama continues to help millions of people around the world.........

Founded in 1987 by Ben and Luanne Russell, CARE Alabama is the only statewide campaign that raises and matches funds before sending them to CARE.  Since the beginning, the Russell’s have set aside a fund each year from which to match “dollar for dollar” donations made to the campaign.  200% of every contribution goes directly to CARE!  As always, Ben and Luanne Russell will continue to match any single gift up to a maximum of $25,000, and all gifts made to CARE Alabama up to a total of $250,000. 

Your gifts make a difference…

Thanks to you, CARE Alabama is helping millions of people around the world.  To date, CARE Alabama has provided CARE with over $13 million for our neighbors in developing countries.

CARE is one of the world's leading humanitarian organizations fighting global poverty.  CARE helps poor families create lasting solutions to their most threatening problems.  We combine the strength of communities, donors and our expert staff to win victories over poverty every day.

CARE Alabama and CARE have been partners for over 20 years.  With your support, we will continue to provide relief to the homeless and help them rebuild their lives.

In the final analysis, lives have been saved and livelihoods have been made thanks to caring people like YOU!
