“Caring for the poor is not just something nice the Church does; it’s a part of who we are and essential to the Church’s saving work.”  Bishop Jaime Soto, Chairman, CCHD Subcommittee, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops CCHD provides funding to groups whose activities reflect Catholic moral and social teaching on human life and dignity. CCHD-funded groups work to change social structures and policies which undermine life and dignity, especially for the poor and powerless. 

CCHD is an example of how the Catholic community reaches out to involve and support people who are poor in acting together to improve their lives, overcome injustice and escape poverty. CCHD is a sign of how the Church lives out the call from Scripture and Tradition to give special concern and priority to the needs of those who are poor and vulnerable.
