Jerry Huffman sent this from the US Census Bureau. I’ve been working across Southern Wisconsin for just over a year now helping organize communities to assure your towns get their best possible count.

 

I won’t bore you with all of the reasons but the main one is money. Much for federal aid is tied to a community’s population. If your population is up from ten years ago you’ll likely receive more federal funding. If it’s down, it’s also possible you could
lose funding. And none of us want that to happen.

 

We could use your help by finding creative ways in your area to let folks know the census is out there and going strong. For the first time, the census is online and will likely take you less than ten minutes to fill it out. Our website is: 2020census.gov.
You can also call 1-800-330-2020 and they’ll help you fill it out. Eventually, door-to-door teams will come to your home to assist you also.
