After World War II, CARE mobilized to send much-needed food rations, known as "CARE Packages," to Polish people and refugees devastated by war and occupation. As the war in Ukraine escalated, CARE returned to Poland to assist Ukrainian refugees. The Polish office is also active in Slovakia and Hungary and runs operations in Ukraine.
