Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens supports the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), a social justice program which sponsors projects that help poor and low-income people help themselves. Every year, to help break the cycle of poverty, the Diocese of Brooklyn issues grants to projects that not only address the root causes of poverty, but seek to empower the poor, the disabled, minorities, workers and immigrants. Eighty-six cents out of every dollar received by CCHD goes directly to community empowerment, economic development and education programs.
Affiliated Services
Partnerships that Promote Catholic Social Services
Our partnerships with affiliated services and organizations allow us to reach out to many more neighbors in need and work towards common goals of alleviating human suffering and uplifting families and communities.
This mission is strengthened by our work with Catholic Charities USA, as well as organizations such as Catholic Campaign for Human Development, a social justice program which sponsors projects that help poor and low-income people help themselves.
We are equally blessed to be allied with local services that many of our neighbors depend on, such as the Saints Joachim & Anne Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, a 200-bed health center providing compassionate care for the elderly and disabled.
