World Care Information

Mission World Care's mission is to provide humanitarian relief by recycling surplus materials and supply to create usable resources for health, education and sustainable communities worldwide. We believe in providing tools to those less fortunate and promoting an ethic of community service. We recognize the greater capacities of ingenuity, compassion, service, vision, and leadership, and seek to embody these values in all that we do. World Care began in 1994 in founder Lisa Hopper's Tucson home as a volunteer collection of school supplies for local area students. World Care now operates its Relief Center in a former TUSD school with a number of programs including Tools for Schools, which benefit thousands of Arizonans and countries around the world.
