BRIDGETON, N.J. — Gateway, Operation South Jersey, and Unidos Para La Familia teamed up to encourage the Hispanic community to fill out the 2020 Census.
In an effort to support families hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, the three organizations worked together and supplied those in need with free produce. Last Tuesday, however, they had Census forms for community members to fill out.
While community members weren’t obligated to fill out the Census to receive free produce, they were reminded of just how important it is.
