Catholic Charities - Diocese of Youngstown

The Office of Social Action coordinates the efforts of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, the official anti-poverty program of the United States Catholic Bishops. CCHD monies are collected from parishes around the country and in the Diocese of Youngstown. Seventy-five percent (75%) of these monies collected are forwarded to the National CCHD office in order to be distributed as grants to self-help and social justice groups composed of low-income persons serving low-income communities. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the local monies collected remain in the Diocese of Youngstown for local distribution to self-help and social justice groups composed of low-income persons serving low-income communities.
