Help Every Child Grow Up Strong

Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy and strong and succeed in school. But how can they when facing the challenges of poverty?

Millions of families in the United States struggle with worrying about how to pay their bills AND provide for their children. In many cases, children go without a safe place to sleep at night, enough food on the table or proper health care. Much-needed services are failing to reach the most vulnerable in our country.

It's unthinkable that so many children are unable to grow up to their full potential because they face a life of poverty.

That's why Catholic Charities USA is working with people just like you to fight poverty in America. We support our member agencies who provide food, shelter and support for families barely scraping by. Because of this, Catholic Charities USA is helping give thousands of children a chance to grow up to a life of success.

But we can't do it alone. Please help us send a strong message that together we can reduce poverty in this great nation. By doing so, we can ensure that not another child falls to a life of poverty.
