AmeriCares is a nonprofit global health and disaster relief organization that delivers medicines, medical supplies and aid to people in need around the world and across the United States. Since it was established in 1982, AmeriCares has distributed more than $10 billion in humanitarian aid to 164 countries. We deliver medical aid and support ongoing health programs, such as bringing nutritional supplements to hungry children or providing crucial aid to fight deadly cholera. In the United States, we supply aid to 400 clinics serving the uninsured or underinsured and operate three free clinics in Connecticut. During emergencies, our teams are among the first to respond with medicines and medical assistance. After major disasters, AmeriCares stays to help rebuild communities and restore health services. We are privately funded through the generosity of financial donors, and also receive vital in-kind support from pharmaceutical and health care companies.
