title: Catholic Charities U.S.A. Providing a Voice for the Poor.
abstract: Think you know Catholic Charities? Look deeper--I bet you'll be surprised. People often tell me they know all about Catholic Charities' soup kitchens, coat drives, an annual Christmas fund-raiser. Some might mention local resume-writing classes or social enterprise endeavors like bake and furniture sales and other services for people struggling to lift themselves out of poverty. But only a few know that, as a movement, Catholic Charities has a dual mission and is committed to living out both components providing charity and seeking justice.
