Committee and task force reports, correspondence, pamphlets, and clippings largely concerning the responses of local churches to problems of poverty, hunger, child care, and other social questions.

The record group includes administrative and organizational files, including minutes of the executive committee, and topical files describing some of the programs funded by the organization. Within the files, the researcher will find reports, memoranda, printed material, and records of the needs task forces set up by the Council. The records date primarily from 1970 to 1981 with some funding files from the 1990s up to 2007/2008.
