The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD)
These days it is not hard to imagine having to choose between rent or health care, food or transportation, Household bills or clothing for your children.
For many Americans, these
choices are forced by a recent layoff, pay freeze, or retirement fund
decrease. For 37 million Americans who live below the poverty line, the
options are only diminishing.
The Catholic Campaign for
Human Development (CCHD) makes a difference in low-income communities
by funding programs that
address the root causes of poverty. More than ever, CCHD needs your support
in today's Collection. Thank you for your generosity.

the gift of friendship and form a
one on one relationship with them
within a small faith group. But we
can welcome others.
You don’t feel qualified? The fact is
no previous experience with people
with mental retardation, autism,
cerebral palsy, epilepsy and
learning problems is necessary
because training is provided.

can’t do this without YOU!
Friendship is key to this unique
program. There are no books,
classrooms, or homework. The space
we will set up is like a living room
because of the way we share our
faith with one another.
