Dear friends,
Since its founding in 1969, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has awarded grants to over 7,800 grassroots organizations to address the root causes of poverty, including many affiliates of the Gamaliel Foundation.
“This ministry for justice is rooted in our baptism and faith commitment,” the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops said about the CCHD.
In recent weeks, the CCHD has come under coordinated attack from partisan groups seeking to de-fund CCHD grant recipients and the CCHD itself. As a result, at least five dioceses have canceled this year’s collection.
The collection takes place this Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 21-22. Please show your support for the CCHD with a generous donation, and include the attached coupon to express your support for social justice.
Please add the name of your affiliate, distribute extra coupons to friends, and include one with your offering on Nov. 21-22!
