FOOD SHARE PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW IN HUDSON

Already into its third month, the Food Share America program continues to build momentum in Hudson.  Food Share is a non-profit food purchasing program in which participants can save up to 50% on their grocery purchases.  The significant savings are a direct result of Food Share America’s bulk purchasing power, along with the use of volunteers who help sort, package, and distribute the food. There are no qualification rules or membership fees required to join this program.  Participants can chose from a wide variety of frozen meats, fresh produce and other grocery items as well as club-size packages.  You pick the food you order each month and pick it up once a month a Hudson’s Town Hall.  For more information click here.   

CENSUS SCAMS ARE IN THE NEWS

• Republican Party letter (asks for money at the end)
• Census of Senior Citizens

Facts About the Census Bureau and Data Collection:

• Census workers never ask for money or bank account information
• Census workers will always have an official ID badge
• An advance letter is typically sent to the household before census workers show up in person
• Census workers do collect data other than the 2010 Census, the unemployment rates, housing starts, consumber price index numbers, and other statistics are all collected by the U.S. Census Bureau through monthly surveys, conducted door-to-door by interviewers called field representatives.  They also carry official ID badges.

2010 Census:

• 2010 Census advance letters will be sent the first week of March
• The official 2010 Census Questionnaire will be delivered by mail the week of March 15
