Health department launches 2020 ‘Census Challenge’

Southern Seven Health Department is working hard to promote participation in the 2020 Census by area residents.

This week, the health department has launched a “Census Challenge.”

The health department shared the following message about the “Challenge”:

“The 2020 Census is a great activity to do while you’re sheltering in place because it can be done online at 2020Census.gov, by phone, and by mail. 

“Simply take a photo or video of you and/or your family completing your census and post it on the Southern Seven Health Department Facebook page. 

“Then share to a friend’s page asking them to do the same.

“Let’s keep this challenge going. The prize is… the more people who complete their census, the more $ our communities will have for emergency preparedness (such as pandemics/earthquakes/flooding), schools, hospitals, clinics, meal programs, senior citizen programs, roads, and many more services for the next 10 YEARS!  Let’s go!”
