United China Relief was founded in 1941 in New York City for the purpose of raising funds to aid the Chinese people during times of national crisis. Ancillary goals were to serve as a medium for informing Americans on events and conditions in China, and to help to reassure the Chinese people of continued American concern and friendship.
