2020 Catholic Campaign for Human Development
This year on Nov. 21/22, the Catholic Church in the U.S. will hold its 50th annual collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). The U.S. Catholic Bishops created CCHD to fund economic and community development initiatives led locally by low income people. These initiatives create permanent solutions to poverty. CCHD also fund formation and evangelization efforts like the CCHD Intern Program.
