The
Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is a domestic
anti-poverty, social justice program of the U.S. Catholic bishops. It
was founded in 1969 with two purposes. The first purpose was to raise funds to support "organized groups of white and minority poor to develop economic strength and political power." The second purpose was to "educate the People of God to a new knowledge of today's problems . . . that can lead to some new approaches that promote a greater sense of solidarity."The CCHD philosophy emphasizes empowerment and participation for the poor. By helping the poor to participate in the decisions and actions that affect their lives, CCHD empowers them to move beyond poverty. The Office of Social Action promotes the Catholic Campaign for Human Development and assists parishes, schools and individuals with participating in CCHD programs. Please contact the Loxi Hopkins for assistance and use the links below to learn about CCHD's many programs.
