C.A.R.E. University (Community Assisting & Rewarding Education), established in 2016, was created to help college students and their parents offset the cost of day-to-day living while students are away at college. We collect and distribute donations of personal hygiene products, snacks, and school supplies to help students while away at college so they can focus on their studies. We are in the process of obtaining resources to offer scholarships to help students with book fees and financial emergencies.
