care of
Mailing address addition
Care of indicates that mail should be delivered to one person at another person's or organization's address.
Abbreviated c/o, it appears on envelopes when the recipient doesn't live or work at a location but can receive mail there: Send it to me care of my sister's address.
The phrase signals that someone at that address will pass the letter along.
