CENSUS 2020 OUR KIDS COUNT
Our communities are made up of families. Census dollars help with programs that feed families, provide homes and shelter, support learning of all kinds, create parks and playgrounds, and make our cities and towns better. We want the best for our families and getting counted helps.

Alice Summit at SVSU on Feb. 11
Join business leaders for a community conversation about how we can work together to empower the ALICE population. ALICE workers are essential to the fabric of our society. ALICE works in jobs that are integral in our communities, from child care educators and home health aides to mechanics - all workers we rely on every day. The future of our communities is directly tied to the financial stability of ALICE households. When ALICE suffers and is forced to make difficult choices, we all face serious consequences.

Cost: $11
