Dear Friends,

In the last week of 2011, consider making CARE your year-end charity.  Your donation will go directly to our poverty-fighting programs helping women, families and whole communities access the tools they need to escape poverty – for good.

On Causes, we’re trying to raise $4,800, which can provide 600 family-sized packets of seeds to poor families that include beans, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, carrots and more.

It may seem like a lot now, but imagine what a difference we could make if just 100 people donated $50 – we’d reach our goal in no time!

Around the world, people are suffering from hunger.  In the Horn of Africa alone, a massive famine and drought caused crops to fail and more than 12 million people to face starvation. Tens of thousands have not made it.

When CARE is able to help families access essential items like seeds and gardening tools as well as education about sustainable farming practices and irrigation, we help stop the vicious cycle of hunger and poverty.

We can help people feed themselves, improve their crop outputs and even grow enough food to sell on the market to make an income.

Please make a generous, tax-deductible donation before the clock strikes midnight on December 31 to help empower poor women, families and communities to bring an end to poverty and hunger around the world.

Sincerely,

CARE
