"May we never abandon them."
Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
The Bible begins with the bold assertion that all human beings are made in the image and likeness of God.
Yet, it is no secret that those in whom the Image of God is most often ignored are the homeless, the hungry, and the poor.
In the state of Arizona, over 10,000 people made in God's image are currently experiencing homelessness, and roughly one million are living in poverty.
The Catholic Community Foundation works to transform this tragic reality.
The CCF Care Forever Fund is devoted to benefiting ministries that serve the most vulnerable in our community.
The impact of Care grants is being felt across our community in the lives of disadvantaged men, women, and children through ministries like André House, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Joseph the Worker, and more.
