Second Collection: Catholic Campaign for Human Development

Here in the United States, one in seven people lives in poverty — over thirty-eight million of our brothers and sisters in Christ. With the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) collection, you support programs that address the root causes of poverty and provide a sustainable future for all who are struggling across the country — a struggle made even more difficult since the COVID pandemic began. Programs supported by this collection empower individuals to identify and address the obstacles they face in their specific community, allowing them to help bring permanent and positive change. In addition, 25% of funds collected remain here in the Archdiocese of Portland to support local projects! Learn more about the work supported by CCHD at PovertyUSA.org.
