supporting CCHD through the annual second collection

The 2010 collection will be the weekend of November 21-22.

Catholic Diocese of Arlington

The annual CCHD collection

The work of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development is made possible by the generous donations of Catholic parishioners whose financial gifts in the annual CCHD collection, and at other times of the year, become the tools of self-reliance, self-sufficiency and self-determination for people who are motivated to break out of the cycle of poverty.

The collection is held each year on the weekend before Thanksgiving. The collection not only raises money to fund the program, but also provides an opportunity for Catholics to learn about poverty and our church's social mission.

  • 75% of the collection goes into a national fund to support projects across the country.
  • 25% stays here in the Diocese of Arlington to fund local projects.
