Catholic Campaign for Human Development

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) was established by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops with a two fold mandate to fund low-income controlled empowerment projects and to educate Catholics about the root causes of poverty within the context of the Catholic social tradition. CCHD programs are administered in the Diocese of Orange by Deacon Jim Merle. You can reach Deacon Jim here. You can read more about the mission and projects funded by CCHD by clicking here.
