Our Mission

Chico Advocates for a Responsible Economy (C.A.R.E.) is a group of concerned citizens, committed to sound economic policies that promote smart growth while preserving the unique character of Chico.

CARE is working to prevent the expansion of the existing Wal-Mart on Forest Avenue into a Supercenter.

We do not oppose the existing Wal-Mart. We do support responsible growth and believe that a Supercenters is unnecessary and inconsistent with responsible development.

If you are interested in joining us in opposing these two developments, or in learning more about the issue, please contact us by email at info@chicocares.org or by regular mail at P.O. Box 7647, Chico 95927-7647.
