What Everyone Needs to Do in March … This Month
Fill in the 10 questions on the form, and mail it back right away.
It is easy and safe. ~~ Everyone in Brockton Counts!
Why? Because counting all Brockton residents:
~~ helps Brockton and Massachusetts get federal money for school projects, construction,
services like Head Start, WIC, elderly and health programs, etc.

If you mail your questionnaire back, no Census worker will come to your home.
