An unprecedented Census will come to an end Thursday, October 15, according to Census officials after the Supreme Court ruled that the current administration could end field operations early.

You have one more day!

As providers, you are in a unique position to help direct families on filling out the census and informing them that it's safe, easy and important. Reach out to them and let them know it's their last chance. Remember, the individuals you serve are often those who will most benefit from an accurate census count.
