Though we can't be with you, the Y is still here for you. We're brainstorming ideas to engage and connect with all of you. We are working on providing emergency childcare for health care employees, calling seniors and families in our communities to provide support, working with our partners the American Red Cross on hosting a blood drive April 13 (donor slots are filled but we hope to offer another drive soon) and Mountainside Hospital as a repository for PPE donations (contact PPEdonations@NJSP.org if you have PPE only donations), and gathering resources to help you stay safe and active at home. This is an extraordinarily challenging time, unlike anything we have experienced. We will get through this together. And when we emerge from this moment, we look forward to welcoming you and your families back through our doors.

TIME TO BE COUNTED! COMPLETE THE CENSUS TODAY.

What is the census? Every 10 years, the US Census Bureau counts everyone in the United States. The data is used by governments and businesses to decide: How much money each state gets for schools, hospitals, roads, and social services. How many Congressional Representatives each state receives. How local and state district lines get drawn, based on population. The census asks 9 simple questions about you and the people living in your household: how many people live with you and if you own or rent your home; name, sex, age, birthday, ethnicity and race. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete depending on the size of your household. Help your community get the resources it deserves and needs by completing the census today.

IT'S OK TO NOT BE OK
