A new year is here! We hope it's the best one yet for you and your loved ones!

In fiscal year 2016, Iowa received over $8.7 Billion in federal funding based on data collected in the 2010 Census. There's a lot at stake this year, so let's make sure #IowaCounts.

All Head Start and Early Head Start Centers will be closed beginning March 17. We are also suspending all agency home visits and host agency visits. We will continue to serve individuals who are in need of assistance. However, everyone is asked to call first at 712-274-1610.

How old is your child in 10 years? Counting them in the census is crucial. The data will affect funding levels for the next decade for programs that have a substantial impact on #HeadStart families. Respond now! It's quick, easy, and online: 2020census.gov #CountAllKids

#CommunityAction-Our statement: "It’s not enough to feign verbal and distant support for non-racist causes. We must move beyond that into constructive anti-racist action that might even cause us to have to sacrifice the comfort or advantage that some of us have. Racism must end."

How many people have responded to the #2020Census in your city or county? Find out at 2020census.gov/response-rates. We still need one in three households across Iowa to respond. Be the Key to the Future of Iowa. Go to 2020Census.gov or call 844-330-2020 #IowaCounts
