GLOBAL SOLIDARITY, OPERATION RICE BOWL & JUSTICE FOR IMMIGRANTS
Catholic Charities Solidarity Team (CCST) collaborates with the national Catholic Relief Services (CRS) headquarters and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), to advance global solidarity and social justice.

CCST coordinates the local annual Lenten world hunger awareness and fund-raising efforts of Operation Rice Bowl. Proceeds from this annual program support local food security initiatives through small grants; and internationally, through contributions to CRS national headquarters projects.
In addition, CSST coordinates the Justice for Immigrants efforts in the Diocese of Metuchen. The local Team promotes awareness for, and advocates on behalf of, immigrant members of the local community in need of a voice, and just treatment.LOCATION:
