City of Mission - Census 2020

Every Slice counts

The City of Mission has worked hard over the past several months towards increasing participation in the 2020 Census. Our whole democracy is based on it! The census ensures that each community gets the right number of representatives in government. It also helps with the equal distribution of public funds for educational programs, health care, law enforcement, highway improvements, housing assistance and services for the youth, elderly and disabled. Getting an accurate count, affects Valley funding for the next decade, so please do your part! You can still get counted by going to 2020census.gov.

As part of its continued outreach efforts, the City of Mission also hosted numerous sign up events where citizens earned between $50-$100 in gift certificates to participating restaurants, just for signing up for the census on site. The program helped residents and also assisted Mission businesses, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The City of Mission is making every effort to ensure that everyone in Mission is counted! #EverySliceCounts #MissionWorkingForYou #ShopLocal
