2020 Census
Shape Your Future
|
|
|
|
The Census deadline is fast approaching - September 30th! Currently, around 80% of Los Gatos residents have been counted (as of 9/1/20), so let's get to 100%! Tell your family, friends, and neighbors that the time is now to take 15 minutes and fill out your census! This year, the census can be taken ONLINE.
Be counted! Make sure Los Gatos, Santa Clara County and California receive our fair share of federal funds. From billions of dollars in federal funding, to accurate representation in Congress, it is vital that Californians are counted correctly. Help your community achieve a complete count!

Maybe you've noticed these green signs around town? The Chamber and the Town are embarking on a Protect Los Gatos campaign, reminding people to social distance and wear a mask. We've placed signs around town: on A-frames, in store windows and on pop-up patios. Please keep us all safe!
If you'd like a sign, stop by the Chamber office and pick one up.
