The 2010 Census – is very important.Everyone needs to be counted so that organizations like ours and others not only in the State of New Jersey but throughout the United States received the proper assistance to help so many that are in need.
Dates to remember:
March 2010 – Census forms are mailed or delivered to households
April 1, 2010 – National Census Day – use this day as a point of reference for sending your completed form back in the mail.
April – July 2010 – Census takers visit households that did not return a form by mail.
December 2010 – By law, the Census Bureau delivers population information to the President for apportionment. If you want to find out more about the 2010 Census I found this site to be very informational: http://2010.census.gov/2010census/index.php
People continue to struggle – with the current economy and have no other alternative than to seek our assistance to make ends meet. We continue to see an increase in the number of families we are serving on a monthly basis.From time to time we share our yearly statistics so that people see in ‘real’ numbers what we have experienced in the past and are currently experiencing.Here are our statistics from 2005 to present which speak for themselves.
