Bishops’ anti-poverty effort CCHD has roots in Chicago

When Catholics across the United States are asked to donate to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development the weekend of Nov. 23-24, they will be participating in the domestic anti-poverty program of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. It works by making grants to community groups that are working to address the systemic causes and effects of poverty in their own neighborhoods.
