Having served on a local CCHD board for years, I can say that the purpose of the program is to provide make-work jobs for community organizers. Replace this mess with real charity directed at needy people.

I'm sorry that's been your experience. I really felt that the grants my CCHD board produced were vital to helping growing community organizers, especially since so many of them have informal connections to parishes and parishioners. Direct support is really great, but it should also be followed with institutional change
I learned to chant this mantra myself, but I'm afraid what has really been going on is closer to phishing than fishing. Nobody ends up eating except the scammers.
We were told by the CCHD officials to hand over cash to "community organizers" who would tell "the poor and workers" how to get their acts together . . . for a stiff price, of course. That's how the racket works. The poor (as usual) go along for whatever crumbs get trickled down their way.

Chairty is giving a man a fish. CCHD is teaching a village how to fish.

I know. The poor and workers can only be helped by charity because unless their social betters are in control, everything does wrong.

Help grow community organizers?
Their paychecks grow . . . for "social justice," of course. It's a scam!
