Dear Editor: The 2010 census is under way, and as an organization
that is directly impacted by the results, Community Action would
like to encourage everyone to fill out their census form. Community
Action is a private, nonprofit organization that provides critical
services to low-income and senior residents and families in DeWitt,
Fulton, Logan, Mason, Menard and Piatt counties.
Some of the funds we use to operate our programs are federal and
state dollars. The amount we have access to is based on the
populations we serve. An accurate census is critical. For the next
10 years, the funds we receive will be based on the 2010 census
results, and the services we provide will be affected.
If you haven't filled out your census survey yet, please do so
today! The 2010 census only takes 10 minutes to fill out. By filling
out the census, you will help agencies like Community Action provide
necessary services to your friends and neighbors.
Thank you,
Angela Stoltzenburg
Executive Director
Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois
